Awaiting Transition

So much pain
And confusion
And doubt
And sadness
Circling around all the time
Manifesting
In Silence
Or in anger
Or in deep, dark depression
Not sleeping
Not getting out of bed
Struggling
Sobbing
No relief from tears
Hurt so deep
It feels bottomless
Unless
Until
We look up
We cry out
We seek help
We press in
And as we turn
Toward the light
Morning comes
Darkness fades
Calm and stillness
Begin to seep through
Love begins
To heal
To mend
Our broken hearts
Our wounded souls
Our aching spirits
We grow toward wholeness
We stretch and move
We get up
Stepping lightly
Holding our heads aloft
And we begin to dance again
