Navigating Neurons

She began her journey
Encased in peaceful waters
Developing and growing
Into an orphaned daughter

Thrown out onto grassy shores
Left for dead, in her blood
Before she could draw breath
She was unjustly judged

...forsaken

Compassion picked her up
And delivered her to care
She found tools to survive
Under weights too heavy to bear

Always getting through
To moments, disappointing at best
Finding treasure and truth
But nothing to invest

...in LOVE

War, fight, dissonance
Always fuzz on the line
No clear communication
With anyone divine

Piece by piece, step by step
He led...she rested and fed
On waters erupting in her soul
Snakes out of the water
Sludge cleared in flow
Til she finally came to know

...whole
