Wings

As I laid there looking up at the stars, I felt sad and all alone. The sting of old scars made me realize that you were already gone. No matter what I said, I was to blame, yelling at me about my upbringing. All I have left is your last name, and a heart that was crushed and bleeding. As I laid there on the ground, with my heart all torn to pieces. I heard a familiar sound, He said, “ as you let go, the pain decreases.” I made up my mind, all determined and true. I was leaving the past behind, and moving on to somewhere new. I got to my feet, wiped the tears from my eyes, was more determined not to accept defeat. I was through listening to the lies. As all my chains were breaking, I had gotten my wings. While you were sitting in the dirt shaking, I took flight and now my heart sings. I hear a voice calling out “come up higher “ With His voice there is no doubt, Jesus is my only desire. He is calling to His Bride, All spotless and white Get ready to ride, I AM making everything right !!! © Deborah Seale 2024

Dear Deborah, What a powerful journey of self-discovery and empowerment. Your words vividly convey the pain of past scars and the courage to break free from the chains of the past. The imagery of taking flight and finding peace in faith is deeply moving. It's a testament to resilience and the transformative power of letting go. It's such an inspiring piece of art. - Blessings, Daniel
