Home Coming

Ruptured, oozing out the fear that’s been flowing in my veins. I spent my time so mesmerized by the fiery glow of my silhouette that I overlooked the darkness it casted, which blocked out my sun. Frightened by what I might find, I ran so far away from home that my pounding heart drowned the drumming of my feet against the ground. Chartering my course very skillfully, I sought to leave it all behind, until I saw my shadow still with me as one. So I moved. Into my own shining light and watched it melt away. Finally understanding that the strength of a true warrior laid not in the will to fight but in the courage to surrender. For those little moments the world stood still and my heart was overflowing with love and I saw a reflection of who I really was: Immortal.
