Closure... at last
I dealt with it. It was hard. I held a bolt of lightning in my hand.
I stared the tempest in the eye and dealt with conflict in real time.
My new life, my changed self requires of me new courage.
I open myself to the world. I speak and wait for some strange echo to sound in reply.
Its voice, its words, its meaning, unlike my own.
The words I knew were coming sounded like thunder in my heart.
I'm still quaking at the moment, but I know, when that passes, I'll probably cry.
An exorcism of tears.
I almost look forward to it, the release of months of bottled emotion.
And the peace that comes thereafter. The silence and the calm - like a sunset after the storm.
No, words won't help me right now. I've had enough of those.
Right now, I just need...
Time.
