The trees whispered and hummed
As I walked through the forest
Fall was becoming winter
The leaves were a crimson color
They looked frail
Thin as paper
Weak.
I felt as thin as the leaves
Helpless.
Hopeless.
Colorless.
Drained.
I sat.
Waiting in despair
My happiness was iced
Frozen.
My life felt icy
Cold.
Frigid.
Empty.
I didn’t know what to do
How to feel
What exactly I should feel
I was lost.
Alone.
In a life size labyrinth
I wasn’t sure if there was an end
A break
I didn’t know what was next
Or how I would end up
Or even where.
A gust of wind blew in my face
A charmed sound
Filled my ears
Leaves swirled around
A tiny red leaf fell in my hand
It was in the shape of a heart
I looked at it
I felt inspired.
I could move on.
Go on.
Keep living.
Not stop.
