Walking through fear

~ this is something I wrote after In the Mist of the water....Kinda fits where I am now... I am doing a lot more writing and may be posting older things before I start adding new.....

A treacherous and rocky path brought her here
To scared waters to help her heal
Just for a while
There is more work to be done
She is stronger than she ever thought she could be
For all of her trials and pain sculpted and shaped her
All wounds are healing
Nothing left from her past to hold her back
It is dark as she starts back out
But she no longer fears it
For she is full of light and her connection to the earth is real
Onward she walks expecting more danger to come
Only to find that now,  she can move through the fear of danger
Fear no longer holds her in its grasp
She sees nothing to run or hide from
She walks with more peace than she ever thought possible
Through the darkness of the night she walks
Holding to her connection with the earth
Holding her connection with the goddess within
Moving Forward
Dissolving all fear
The sun begins to rise

She takes a moment to pause and look around
Catching her breath 

She beholds a beauty meant only her eyes
All the wonder and joy without the veil of fear
She sees that fear was just a self made illusion
She sees others still trapped in a darkened veil
Fighting and lashing out at those around
Finally she understands that is was only illusions that held her in place
As the sun gets brighter she finds a willow tree 

And stretches out beneath its magical branches
Giving thanks for her journey
Giving thanks for the lessons that brought her to where she is
With peace and gratitude
She starts on to the next phase of her life
Her next journey

Never fearing the dark
Always looking towards the light
