Resilience

Emerging now,
Into the antithesis
I remember,
Provided with enough proof,
Embodied those memories, 
Feeling the peaceful winds pull me, back up.
Devoting myself the time to heal,
Knowing stumbling will still happen,
I open myself to be more receptive,
For all the climbs to come,
For all the hurdles that I may just 
Jump or smash through,
Provided proof being my own 
Resilience.
Allowing myself when needed be to descend or ascend,
To be as invested in my joy as much as 
Allowing my sadness the same attention,
The same savoring love and light,
Encourages and empowers me
To truly grow, honoring my growth,
To take me either direction.
Knowing that when I choose to offer whole awareness,
I learn, I unlearn, I relearn, I heal,
All that variety no matter how extreme it is,
Comes and goes.
Within healing, so do we immensely grow,
Even though at times,
I question how much I can endure,
During these pitfalls, these storms,
I am slowly coming to…
Nearing a new normalcy for me,
Being established,
Investing into the imminent now,
Into the new as it evolves me.
I allow all I thought going in,
Meanwhile and coming through,
Be as it was meant for.
A realization of change afoot,
Transforming my own becoming,
To be transmuted from fear & challenge,
Into love, into compassion, into nutrition,
Providing me more 
Strength, courage, honesty and awareness,
Helping me to hone who I am to become.
So into my heart, my soul, my path I invest,
Dedicated to all I have been through,
Dedicated to all that is here,
And coming, no matter the diversity.
Every experience I have had taught
And will still teach me what resilience is,
No matter how many times I learn 
That I have I will utilize,
Redefining what that will mean for me,
Going in, emerging out of each and every storm,
Though I may feel broken, 
I have been provided proof,
That I will always get through,
So I am, now and will again..
Emerging now,
Into the antithesis
I remember,
Provided with enough proof,
Resilience will always be within me,
To take forward, and forward we will
Go together...

I know I am not, I will re-emerge different yes,
