my feet bare

a ground i’ve walked before

a land of memories & pain

a blur now crystal clear

choosing clarity

in every moment i become whole

a road so familiar

untold lessons now being shown

this story i’ve come to know

while this pain feels no better

my feet carry me deeper

finding my love seemingly a chore

as healing becomes quicker

the darkness gets thinner

my strides now calm

peace in the prints behind me

trailing like memos of the moment

consciously breathing

choosing awareness

no more do i hide in my subconscious

recognizing love has guided me to whom i’ve become
