"The One That Held On" ~by Linda Willows

My footsteps have never
been seen or found.
Discarded and passed
to paths lost in profound.
Too far from the Norm,
and too foreign from home
Scars break from a listen,
most forsake my life’s Roam.

Love never in doubt,
it poured full with each Storm.
Lightening struck all about
as if shock were the norm.
The words that I spoke,
unheard by all kin,
Left life that once nourished,
washed away in times grim.

Does dark mark the turns that
bring unexplained cruel recall?
I think not at all,
T’is these
loved most of All.
We each leave footprints
and Scars of Life’s Art.
Yet bold Tears embrace the One
that held on to this Heart.

…A heart that breaks, life experiences that deeply wound, including early trauma, and repeated trauma in life can hone the skills to wisdom, survival, personal victories and garner strengths that many may not fathom from experiences far from the usual life. A “complicated” life is sometimes chosen by the soul, reaching to acquire much learning in the lifetime, to gain knowledge and understanding of the attributes that deepen the qualities of the Soul, in “trail by fire”. It is also Souls of great passion and love that choose, through healing a life of extraordinary pain, they add to the Healing of All in the Brotherhood. The key, is in the constant return to Love and Healing, the supremacy of the Divine, Grace and Mercy in an ever Deepening bow before our Creator.

Love to you Each, Linda
