Finding My Way... by Heartsong7

You steadied me when I could barely stand
and warned me to be mindful where I stepped,
yet knowing I would stumble, held my hand.
I pulled away and fell, lay bruised and wept,
afraid to try again. A tangled strand
of darkness wrapped around me. While I slept,
I dreamed you cleared the way. I could progress
unfettered. Freed of fear I ran, I leapt
enthusiastically, all pain and stress--
gone!
........ til dawn erased the dark and crept
into my consciousness. With heavy eyes
I looked upon a roadway, still unswept,
that wound beneath the grey forbidding skies.

You pulled me to my feet and gently shoved
me out the door. I never felt more loved.

Thank you Liz - I still have much editing to do on this one, so may defer if you don't mind. Let's wait and see how the few weeks go?

Much appreciated for the opportunity!

Collaboration feeds innovation. In the spirit of workshopping, please revisit those threads you've critiqued to see if the author has incorporated your ideas, or requests further feedback from you. In addition, reciprocate with those who've responded to you in kind.
