The Days You Learn

Your dreams have not been lost. They remain right where they need to be. Whenever you find yourself ready, you will find your dreams there waiting. There have been too many days spent praying for your burdens to be lessoned yet omitted was a prayer for your strength to be renewed. Romantic in thoughts and preoccupied with dreams while you allow that which holds you idle to still linger. Patience is not so much a virtue but a prerequisite which gives you the opportunity to pause and reflect on what you let in and what you let go of. You hurt and then cried. You have learned, now you laugh. You have faith and you live. And the time of healing begins. Then come the days of preparation. Then a time to search your soul. Make busy your hands that remain idle. You will start to kick your feet. And with your heart open it is your feelings you will finally define. You have been like rose rushing to bloom, impatient to bud when without nature's ingredients. It is never too late to shine in your own time as a late bloomer is no less seen beautiful. There is no race that ends without a beginning and somewhere along that course you find your footing. Every piece of the puzzle is as important as the other. You will never find clarity if you stop searching. It is measurable, incremental, linear and it is obtainable. And those sooner days keep approaching. Defined as steps and you need to take them and the last one is just another first. Life is defined as progress thus remaining still is akin to regression. Becoming who you have wanted to be or rediscovering the person you once knew. Make everyday a preparation. Take everyday in turn. From hurt to healing to hope, these are the days you learn.
