Each step seemed to bring me closer to the secret realm, which really wasn’t a secret at all, simply unseen.
This path of peace, this chosen way of light wasn’t always easy,
what treasure is ever easy to find? Worthy,
embracing the forest and yet more
of who I am, was always worthy.
I will always choose to breathe,
this way
stepping lightly
into the realm
of wholeness again.
