Journeys in Writing

I am open now, my heart is once more;

I can feel again, like I used to before

The fear and pain had closed me, this time it was no more;

This time was different, a journey of sorts

My feelings were just flowing like never before;

Now I am open again, this time much more

I will not close off again for I choose to have love,

Now I know what to do when things get really tough

I have to keep on fighting, To keep the feeling flowing

Whilst continuing on the path, to where I was going,

This is the journey, the jouney of love & life

The natural ups & downs, the transformations we must seek,

For this is where the heart is; not in closing off & feeling weak

The journey can be hard sometimes, sometimes harder than we know,

We want to run away and hide from all that hurts our soul

But this is far more painful, for then you do not know,

What you are missing out on when you journey with the flow.

~ M.L.Adams

This is one of the first poems I wrote, when I first started writing at the beginning of this year; literally on New Years Day( It wasn’t planned that way of course, so quiet odd:). Anyhow It took a lot of pain for me to go through to get to this place and I was left with this gift of being able to allow my thoughts to  flow in writing, of which I’m immensely grateful for.

I’m thankful also for any readers too, sharing is a blessing as it adds more purpose to writing and I also hope I can inspire some of you too. Writing is a beautiful way of letting go and sharing and I feel blessed to have learnt that this year.

Thank you for reading,
