Notice of absence from Friendship
Thank you for your kind words and friendship; however, I must take a temporary leave of absence for several months to provide care and support to a friend, out of state.❤️
Thank you for your kind words and friendship; however, I must take a temporary leave of absence for several months to provide care and support to a friend, out of state.❤️
In recent weeks, a truth so clear and bright,
My dearest friend, with wisdom brought to light,
Has shown me paths I'd hesitated to embrace,
And now I stand in a much bolder space.
He spoke of courage, a fire in the soul,
To chase my dreams and make my spirit whole.
To move ahead, with purpose in my stride,
And let no fear within my spirit hide.
For every wall, each doubt, each inner plea,
Was built by none, my friend affirmed, but me.
No outer force, no world-imposed decree,
Could ever bind what longs to be set free.
And in that truth, a blinding, clear release,
A sudden knowledge bringing inner peace.
The chains I wore, invisible and deep,
Were forged by fears that I allowed to keep.
He's absolutely right, the scales have fallen down,
No longer captive to a hesitant frown.
So now I rise, with purpose strong and keen,
To step into the person I've always been.
Embracing all the skills I hold so dear,
No longer shadowed by a silent fear.
The path is open, clear, and brightly shown,
I'm doing what I know best, and making it my own.

A powerful message set in good poetic rhyme and verse nicely said and a fave
Love the imagery of chains and light breaking through. Powerful and uplifting like watching someone step out of fear and into their true self. Nicely written.
You’ve captured the moment where advice becomes action…that rare, luminous point when words shift us into a new space. Reading this, I felt your resolve and joy. Keep stepping boldly, my friend, the path is yours. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
