Reflections
The years have passed and
not one word from you.
It's like you were a dream,
just a memory.
Although the anguish
in my heart is no less.
I feel like I am
regaining control of my life.
I'm not sure what
the future will hold for me now,
because I don't
quite feel the same anymore.
Faced with new challenges,
ultimately, where I go from here,
is up to me.
I can stay like I am and
exist in a sort of cocoon like state,
withdraw from life a little
and not get hurt anymore.
That would achieve little and
would undermine
all the successes
I have achieved in my life
up to the point where you stepped in
and captured my ever so lonely heart.
I choose to step forward
and not let this beat me.
Another stepping stone
in my life's journey.
At least I found out
I could love again.
After all that has transpired in life
I gave my heart freely
and without boundaries.
The first time in my life,
where I felt nothing
but beautiful
in the arms of a man.
I will hold fast to that feeling,
because it is a success and
seals yet another chapter in my life.
Somedays will be more difficult
than others I know,
but I will cross my bridges
as I come to them.
Today, I will endeavour to be my best
and hold my head up high.
Tomorrow is another day
I'll not worry for tomorrow,
because I want to catch the magic of today!
