The Quiet Bloom

Strip away the noise until only truth remains
A single thread of song running through your veins
Follow it past the tangled brambles of doubt
To the open fields your heart dreams about
For simplicity is not a loss but a gain
A clear stream freed from the debris of rain

Around you blessings hide in the folds of the day
In the bend of the path, in the words people say
Each one a lantern lit just for you
Proof of the mountains you’ve already walked through
Give yourself the crown of your own becoming
For your story is rich and ever-strumming

Claim the compass that beats in your chest
And walk toward the home where your soul feels its best
Lay each stone with care, building strong and true
A foundation no storm could undo
For the ground you create will one day bear
The dreams you’ve planted in open air

Release the ghosts that clutch your sleeve
For their shadows will fade when you choose to leave
Your past was a chapter, not the whole song
And its echoes will guide you, but never belong
To the sunrise that waits with open arms
And the road ahead laced with charms

Already the wind carries a whispering cheer
Of faces and chances soon drawing near
They will meet you where your spirit glows
And together you’ll walk where the bright grass grows
For your mind has turned toward the light once more
And your steps now lead to the life you’ve been waiting for
