the call from within

I had knocked on so many doors,

then I decided to open my own

 -discovering antique parts of me-

some needed to be dusted, 

held 

and reincorporated 

into my world

and then those that were ready to be left behind,

grateful was I for their lessons,

and the result of releasing them

created a load, unmistakably lighter

Enabling me to embark 

again on my journey

polishing and redefining

until the time arrives

to bloom anew
