She had diamonds in her eyes,
a fire in her heart,
and her soul was the song
of a lark on a breezy spring morning.
She saw a billion different horizons
In her future.
She knew there would be storms along the way.
Terrible winds and pouring rain
That would wash away
Everything she was now.
But beyond each storm
She saw a new morning.
Another sunrise
Where she would wake up
And breathe.
She promised herself she would do more than survive these storms.
She would thrive.
She saw entire worlds within her grasp.
“Someday worlds” ripe with all the things that she would become
And so much more possibility than she could even begin to grasp.
She saw starshine and moonlight and the inky abyss of nothing and everything
That lay at her fingertips.
And she knew
Beyond a doubt
That anything was possible.
So she took one step.
And then another
And embraced the void before her
Welcoming the change
Within
And without,
Excited to see where the journey would lead her to next.
