On her journey,
Traveler
had to
heal the wound
that divided
her spirit.
Loving people,
yet she had
been harmed
by people.
She put up
barriers
around her heart.
She lived
like a hermit
in a cave
for years,
trying to
stay safe.
Her spirit froze,
perched on the edge
of life,
and afraid
to leap.
Good people
approached her
on the pathway.
They watered
her soul
with kindness,
tended her gently,
raveled together
the torn seams
of her heart,
stitched them up,
helped her
to heal.
Traveler
resumed her journey
with a light and joyous heart,
with hope,
with a song to sing
tucked in her
back pocket.
She stepped
lightly
on the earth
and then,
finally,
near sundown,
began to dance.
