Rising Whole- poem

By, Jess Dickson

Tearful rain falls from eyes that have seen too much
Landing in a torrent of memories
She scrambles to the summit
Fingers bleeding, holding on
Dreams float, fluffy hope clouds drifting
Her eyes bear witness
Her body wears the scars
A map of depair and nights spent hiding
Clinging to dreams not quite believed
She takes each step, one…by one…
A soldier of resilience
Never giving up, determined heels grip the ledge
Gazing into currents of pain she has weathered
Laying down, closing weary lids
Her hair and pain drifts down to meet the healing mist of truth
Her chariot awaits to carry her burden into the shadows
In peace she sleeps to rise whole
