Emergence.
I, the observer, watch
as resentments fall away,
the shedding of tears,
softly giving in and letting go
with acceptance.

“I know you care. I know it hurts.
You said someday we’ll get through this.”
The words flowed forth so quietly,
touching me.

The farewell leaves me dying,
every time.
But knowing our souls will touch forever,
keeps me in the present Time.

And I am not left alone.
I’m with the One
who knows and loves,
strengthens and upholds.

Waves of realization wash over me.
I will love again.
Despairing thoughts and torments
have somehow blossomed into joy
with another
beautifully soft
goodbye.

As we discover the connections and limits, we soar in the arms of destiny.
Wonderful write.

Loved this write, m'friend. You DO have wings, and they carry you aloft above the stormy seas, above the waves of daily strife to the realms of empowerment.

OK, enough of that, I enjoyed this soaring write, lady K.

"Emergence.
I, the observer, watch
as resentments fall away,
the shedding of tears,
softly giving in and letting go
with acceptance."

~ K, with the acceptance comes grace into our lives. This stanza was especially grace-full.

Love & Light,
EA

This was...beautiful. Elegant in it's voice, lulling in rhythm and smoothly emotional in the waves of meaning.

I mean, it's like that wonderfully accepting logical and reasoned out feeling that happens after the post <.....>. I love it.

It feels like you touched it with love and a bit of serenity.

excellent feelings so honest and true, this was an amazing concept of just allowing things to be, instead of fighting for what we cannot have...hugs and blessings
