one step closer.......

one step closer each day to the day after tomorrow........... let my intent be known that i will find a blank page to make my mark on.......... let those pages be plentiful and not stained with tears, smudged with dirty hands, ripped away from decay............ let the ink scratch letter to parchment in easy flowing words, not dark thoughts that long for the final act..........let there be tales of health, of healing, of a strong family, of love............ may the cast of characters be many and dear, loved ones building cherished memories......... my story is far from over, even though my current thoughts are far too dark to share........... let those hateful words playing through my skull be whisked away through the same breeze that reminds me my wings are still in tact.......... it takes more effort to stay adrift when you see the crack in the earth opening beneath your unstable feet, but it's not impossible........ let that start my next chapter, the stories held within this book of my life already contain too many stories about falling and finding my way out............ i want a story to pass on, to be proud of, to call my great masterpiece........... one that inspires, that justifies each breath i take........... and i beg that it be interesting and mean something to those who care to see the words for themselves.........
