Her Awakening
A short story with No
U’s
by Rhoda Galgiani
Walking down the street
she clings closely to the
brick wall for leverage
as her footing seems a bit
weakened by the danger within her desperate
life
Longing to regain her
stability again, she lifts her
head high as if
reaching for the light in the heavens
brightness she longs
for above her saddened head
Dreariness weakens her
stride, determination lifts
her frail body again
with strength of a warrior she
knows where she is
going and with faith on her
side, she will gain her
waited moment of glory
Past events drained her
spirit deep inside, only for
a moment did she go
back, daily the women became
stronger, faces the mental
sorrows of the dark shadows
once again, she fights to
rid her mind of the evil that
lingers reality gives
her the painted portrait to carry on
Realizing that not all
harm comes to harm one a smile
comes to her lips, a bright
glow to her eyes as her
vision of the world changes
to a new different light
This light of clarity is
the path that she now will
walk overtaking her lost
expectations of the mind
The brick wall was her
promise to her glory as
she walked in weakness
it brings her new direction
and strength to carry
on, to feel the promise of a
new beginning - in her
memory she searched and
recalled the teachings learned
as a small child
No more shall she feel
alone or distant from those
who cross her path in
haste - for her path has now been
chosen as faith is the
key to peace within her mind,
learning to love ones self brings happiness and
joy...
Seeing the light, eyes
open wide - to her awakening
