Trigger Warning
every turn
reveals a view obscured
a lost way
gone on ahead
to signal the change
a shadow cast
from a long-forgotten self
one more thing to matter a bit less
one more thing to mean a bit more
as the soul shifts focus
and the heart lets go
we become the truth
we’ve been seeking
all along.
