Diving Deep

I will

Dive

Down

Deep

Past

All my fears

My insecurities

My failures

I will

Swim

Through all my

Layers

Until I reach

That tiny

Hidden place

Of

Love

And acceptance

And peace

I will breathe it all in

And bring it to the

Surface

To shine.

Grace

There is a grace to be found

In the difficulty of each day 

For without the struggle 

There will never be 

Victory 

Victory Ahead

Another day
Of a finite count
Washed downstream
To an endless ocean

Past behind
Mystery ahead
Edging forward to
A certain victory

Heart and Soul

In response to The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: “Victory.”

Pleased to say I started reading this book gifted to me Christmas 2008, and finally finished it. This sure is a victory. Only took me 7 years to get there. Has anyone else read it? Are there any Maeve Binchy fans? What half-read book to read next?

Gaining Victory

Facing the enemy
I fear my foe
Feeling my weakness
I pray for help
Forgetting myself
I yield my all
One step forward
To victory I go
One step forward
To heaven, to home
