Earth On January 15, 2014January 16, 2014 By HeidiIn Poetry Image: We Heart It Walking forwards, the past behind me the future unknown. Hard lessons have been learned, yet I know more are to come. As winters melts and spring is reborn, I draw strength from the earth under my toes. The knowledge that no matter how hard I fight, how hard I deny, life will keep moving forward. It is my choice whether I move with it or stay locked in time, forever lost in pain. I chose life, because deep inside I know that death is a step towards something wonderful, something more. Like the cycles of the earth where the winter is harsh and cold, the plants and animals sleep a dreamless sleep until spring begins anew and their journey resumes. One day it will be my turn, and as my bones nourish the earth, giving back what has been taken, I know I will see you again, in another place, another time smiling at me with that special smile all my own. The grass under my toes roots deep and firm, feed me strength so I can carry on until that day we are together again. My heart heals, life returns. I am ready, I am reborn into the circle of life once more. ~ © 2014 Heidi Barnes Share this:TwitterFacebookPinterestLinkedInTumblrLike this:Like Loading...
