 wrote this a couple weeks ago. felt like sharing it today 
 
blessings, 
 
lori-ann 
Slowly slipping out of my dehydrated shrunken skin 
 
I step away from it reluctantly. 
 
Looking back 
 
I reminisce 
 
Eager, yet afraid. 
 
Without my self to support it 
 
The empty shell falls 
 
Crashing to the ground 
 
Shattered remains of a life I once knew 
 
A self I once was. 
 
The remnants of my comfortable skin 
 
Once snug and warm 
 
Now lie in a heap 
 
Shrunken, broken, devastated. 
 
The casing that once enveloped me 
 
Now has no purpose 
 
And has no place 
 
No longer will it keep me safe 
 
No longer will it keep me secure 
 
The armour that once sheltered my body, my mind and my soul 
 
No longer protects me from harm. 
 
The broken shell of my being now ashes 
 
Now dust 
 
Blow away with the wind 
 
I wave goodbye 
 
Thankfully joyfully I walk away 
 
Away from the shell of my old self 
 
And toward the awakening. 
 
My slow reluctant stride 
 
now quicker eager paces. 
 
In the distance I can see her 
 
She waits for me 
 
She knew I would come. 
 
Together we awaken.
