Acceptance

She blossoms when she's rising
Her heart and soul coloured
Complexities many, yet distant

Embracing each moment, briefly
Infrequent and often entwined
Talking minds not hearts

How she yearned for chance
Shielding under full exposure
No light there to guide

On her knees took day down
Grey shadows made seen
An epiphany never forgotten

History circles the mind image
Chess board askew the table
Turns, run out and resigns

As the cold light of day hits
Darkness falls once more
Rejected body and wholeness

Directions to future plans void
Living her life on life's terms
Acceptance...her only answer
