Clarity

The fog has lifted.

The pendulum swung.

My mindset shifted.

Winter became Spring.

From long distance

to close calls.

All that is left are

the memories I kept.

I worked hard to

clean up the mess.

I’ve been hurt,

but the pain brought

out my best.

Shadows followed me

until I stepped

into the light.

I woke up the moment

my dream died.

The dust settled,

and I can, now, see

the life I have

in front of me.
