Seven

"Promise" has 7 letters.

So does:
"Moved on"

But, I have a 7 letter promise to you:
"I'll wait"
Seven is my lucky number. I hope this promise will be lucky enough to be true.

My Lake
savvy May 2018
The cold autumn breeze whips through my hair as I sit quietly by my lake. I have my legs dangled over the edge of the dock waiting for
something...anything.

The frosty winter air fills my lungs as I walk calmly around my lake. I have my arms wrapped around myself
watching for
something...anything.

The fresh spring scents make me smile as I lay next to my lake. I close my eyes and silently drift off to sleep
listening for
something...anything

The long summer heat makes me remember the year before as I drift along my lake. I trace my hand along the surface of the water
thinking of
something...anything.

A year has passed and I sit by my lake again. I try to think of what I could possibly have waited for, watched for, listened for, and thought...of. Someone...anyone?

Then, I look next to me and realize that it was all just my imagination. You were who I waited for, who I looked for, who I listened for, and who I thought...of.
You were my lake

Fireflies
savvy Mar 2018
Tonight,
we fly.
Tonight,
we are free.
Tonight,
we are the sky.
Tonight,
our hearts will soar higher.
Tonight,
our thoughts will drift even deeper.
Tonight,
our dreams will become our wanted reality.
Tomorrow,
we remember the fireflies that lighted our path.
Don't take for granted the good times in life. Cherish all that you experience. Never forget your loved ones and show them that you care for them.

Breaking the Surface
savvy Mar 2018
Fear created the chains which bound me into silence.
No one listened, they only peered.
With blackness around me, I had no guidance.
I was alone and I disappeared.

In despair, there was only time for reflections.
Deep within myself, I had to admit:
Including my imperfections,
Was I still misfit?

Slowly and silently, I found my voice.
In reality, I took my place.
Rejoice!
No longer, am I a disgrace.

I leave the shackles behind me.
Find the light from within.
Swimming up from the deep black sea,
I reach the surface. And I am forgiven of all deadly sin.
Do not be afraid to admit to yourself the truth. If you let silence overtake you, the deeper your despair and fear will go.

— The End —
