Blooming Bud

BLOOMING BUD

One thing do I cherish—

To breathe words causing all forms of reaction;

A sprinting heart, leaking eyes, lips channelling out the sound of mirth,

And a frozen face;

To mention but a few

The journey undertaken meanders,

Marked with bumps and holes.

My bones groan and my eyes bleed,

From holding on to a future seemingly bleak,

A future birthed by wavering support and 

doubt

Thanks, however, to Serendipity

For she alone widens my vision to the things previously unseen,

For by her, I learn;

For by her, I realise every step taken is a win.

I am a work in progress,

Though long, the process

I've been rid of my ore,

Set and ready to live my dreams.
