The End (Series)

The End
“Let Go”

There is a blessing
In the end…
Of what no longer serves you.
Maybe never did…
Not for you.

All that glitters
Is not gold

But, there is gold.
Everywhere.
Gold is all around.
Let go.

The Middle
“Trust”

Write.
Rewrite.
Scratch out.
Start again.
Undo.
Redo.
Start over.
Fling, push, test.
Laugh, scream, cry.
Slash, scrape, brush.
Hard bristles.
And soft…
Stroke after stroke
Swimming through.
Trust.

New Beginning
“Dance”

She walks on water.
She spreads gold wings.
She sees white space –
Glorious! –
And she leaps towards it.

Toes touch down in a new place.
Awash in possibility.
Her feet spring beneath her.
A ballerina’s buoyancy.
A doe’s delicate dignity.
Effortless grace…
(Belying so much effort…)
Subtle warrior.
Dance on.
