Soulful Ascent

In the coldest, darkest moment
     Ever
     Experienced
Loss of a momma
     Most
     Beloved
Torn away abruptly
     Unjust
     Reality
Soul- wrenching pain
     Shuddering
      Wracking
Time, the only answer  
     Fruitless
     Promise
Even among friends
     Solitary
     Suffering
Pain- stabbing and stealing
     Inconceivable
     Misery
Memories now twofold
     Nurturing
     Hardening
Tears come unwelcomed
    Careless
    Flooding
Portents whispered of healing
     Strength
     Required
Find footing in the darkness
     Blistering
     Stairway
Pushed forward from behind
     Apprentice
     Angel
Whispers to the soul
     Release
     Renew
A spectre lingers closely
     Guiding
     Listening
Tears abate, breathing returns
     Solemnly
     Strengthened
She takes a step forward…
     Soulful
     Ascent
