Breakthrough

breakthrough

Dug into the back of that wardrobe

to pull out my old sweater,

a little faded and missing a button

Pulled on my old hiking boots,

the ones with the broken laces

and soles that had seen better days

I made my way to the familiar trail,

dappled with sparkling sunshine

peeking through falling leaves

I was home

Enjoying the solitude

I was in that place where

my thoughts had to room to breathe

The view from the highest cliff,

just enough motivation to find

that breakthrough waiting for me

patiently

  1. This was beautiful. It was also the first poem from OctPoWriMo that I read this year. Now I’m off to see what other poems people have written for it. Thanks for giving me such a good first impression of this event. 🙂
