Gravity

Posted on by Penny Wilson Writes 

The energy it takes
to pull my feet from this earth
seems insurmountable. 

Each step
burdensome
cumbersome
massive. 

I lift my head
seeing the sunlight
breaking through the darkness ahead. 

Just a sliver. 

Hope. 

I advance
determined to reach
the cloudless space.

A deep breath. 

My conviction
wavering.

Fragments are found
somewhere deep inside.

Another step.

A small victory.

Another step.

I feel warmth
coming from the light.

One last step... 

Triumph.

*All is well, my friends.  This post started out as something very dark but turned around for me. (I never know the path my muse will take.)  I think it says that the light IS peeking through for me.  As always, thank you for joining me on this journey. ❤ Penny

  8. Keep walking everyday
    consistency is power
    keep moving toward that ray
    each step build the willpower
    You’ve reached triumph
    you just kept walking
    now you know the science
    every little step made the difference
    toward joy and from depression
    to reach its deliverance.
