july

 i have finally returned to the vastness of cyberspace.

it has been a most difficult year.

i am not the person i  was.

i have been in a battle royal, and have scars that will remain with me for the rest of my life.

i am slowly returning to life.

 inside, the dry, shadowy barrenness is beginning to offer some promise of rejuvenation, of a renewal, a glimpse of hope.

 i am tenderly sheltering that promise, that glimpse, that hope.

i can only blaze a trail through an hour at a time, but each day i have managed to fight my way through twenty four of them.

painfully, slowly, almost regretfully i continue to hack at the minutes that are gnarled into the hours that interweave into days.

that is all i can do for now—

  it is enough

a tiny shoot of life pushes it’s fragile self into the arid, vast emptiness–

it is enough

for now
