Like all things, you need time.
Time to unwind and release the ache
your soul has found to be the most comfortable.
Time to lift the burdens from your shoulders
and begin anew. For your heart continues
to grow in abundance of love that you worry
may steer you wrong. The lessons it has
learned and the stories that it holds have
taught you to move forward with no one
to give them to.

Kiss the shadows of your past goodbye.
The pieces to the puzzle called your soul
depict a new journey for you. Let the
wings of mercy become your safety net.
For they shall cushion every blow.
They shall surround you at every waking
moment because that is what you truly
deserve. May the spark of a new light
shine so bright within. May its warmth
renew your life and rid you of your
demons. May it give you hope for the path
only heaven has in store.

For the many years to come, cherish every
breath you take. Never stop wondering
about how much better life will be. Continue
wishing for brighter days. And remember
every person that has touched your soul.
