Strength
Hope
Resilience
Fighting through
Wondering
How to face what is unknown
What can seem too much to bear
But in her mind she takes it all the same
With this she finds her way

Hanging overhead with the change of seasons
Comes the brace for what lies ahead.
But adapting where needed,
There is strength beyond what beliefs can hold
In time the pieces come together,
The weaknesses find their place,
And with new eyes they circle back to where they began

I wait here
Is there any point in glancing ahead?
That story doesn’t fit,
It can’t be mine.
Hastily hold everything in reach that is mine,
Anything that can’t be taken
As I look to see what remains
To find some sense of security
But it’s too soon to tell where I am
And it’s too dark to see what I have
So the gaps are filled with the only options imaginable
The options of Pain
Of carrying Hurt
Of feeling loss
Of being misunderstood
None of which are as bad as the fear
Of not knowing which one I’m going to find
When the dust settles and I can see clearly again.
Before I cement the past
I lament for the future to come

1965 is where this begins
To 1999
A life on severn, as the guiding light with wisdom and insight
Demi Lan
Grateful and enduring
Knowing how to see beyond what presents as fate
Still keeping hold of what she can take
Without more than her will
And of it what she can make
