A Trip Around the Sun

A year later

The bathroom floor is still her friend

Thoughts of you pierce through all her days

Tears still make her feel lighter now and then

But she’s tasted peace

Freedom

Love

Presence

She met with power

Inner wisdom

Sweet gentleness

She’s flirting with surrender

She’s in deep liaison with trust

She’s not, who she used to be

This trip around the sun

Was not one she wishes to repeat

She never fell so deep

But what she found

Was a chance to leave behind

What no longer serves

Shed layers of the past

And light into old cracks

A knowing

That there is no comfort to be found

In answers one might seek

And that the journey home

Will always

Have just begun.
