Poem: Eternal, Strong & Bold
Worlds were collapsing and so was I, in my mind I had nowhere to run
So I decided to face the debris and smothering, dark clouds.
Smoke, coughing, not knowing what was going on;
Fear joined briefly for a while and I knew I had to let it be,
No point in pretending I was brave then
But my faith had taught me I was immensely stronger than
I would give myself credit for; darkness had engulfed me before
And I'd made it alive so I'd keep embracing the parts of me that
Were pure, eternal, strong and bold.
Smoke eventually dissipated, shy flames died down;
I realised that I was standing on solid, breathing grounds.
Foundations were charred but the earth was alive,
Teaching me that fire would always bring nourished new life.
I stopped fearing, I befriended pain, I knew I couldn't keep running away from
The lessons I was meant to embrace. I sat with the heaviness
Of my chest, I let it be. Eventually, it dawned on me that
The beauty of my existence was in wholeheartedly welcoming
And embracing the fullness of my human experience
Without shame. With a curious heart I would onwards live,
Trusting I was always guided to breathe, grow and be.
