Powerful

I have never felt as powerful as I feel today. You are a bold, bright energy roaring through my body, keeping me strong, keeping me fearless. Oh, how I wish I had found you earlier! Perhaps I would not have been as grateful for you then. For I am now wiser, I have confronted the consequences of my past, dabbled with illusions of happiness, mended a shattered existence and I have won. So, I continued this love affair with you. I nurtured it. I let it get broken and gave it time to heal, I asked for help, I cried and I released. And as I became grateful for the most ordinary of things, you transformed them into the most extraordinary of things. And suddenly there you were, my secret power, I found you in the quiet lull of the morning, I found you amongst the chaos of a mother’s life, in the adoring eyes of my son, the wise remarks of my daughter, there you were as I rekindled my love for lost passions, as I heard my mother laughing, almost in tears, I found you in each word that crossed my page and when I allowed myself to feel love. It dawned on me that you were here all along, weren’t you? Waiting, ever so patiently, for me to be ready for you. And when I found you, you were ever so humble, slipping quietly into my existence, letting me take the glory, for finding me.
