Heavenly Realm

 
My dear friend took this photo of me this morning during a dawn beach walk. I've been struggling with some things and feeling lost in the fog of depression, loneliness, and like there is difficulty finding anything to look forward to. Then this morning happened, with such beautiful light; it is like a hug and a reminder to keep taking one day at a time, because you never know what morning you may wake up to.

The Knot

A prisoner of the knot, not enough;
How to dissolve this, I don't know,
But I feel myself grow.
I feel myself feel the way to truth -
to find I watered this beast and tethered it to myself;
Bound to the weight,
because it was safer to be held than to be free.
I don't know what I shall be without it.
I will be me.
