One Step Away

Liberation that wonderful word of freedom,
that word of leaving burdens behind, of
moving on to be things that you never were.

Stepping into the light as a completion, rather
than an unfinished and damaged weight on the world.

Shedding years of missteps and decay, liberating
to do and be that which you shine into.

Liberation is a gift that is offered to those
who strip out all of the weight of their past
decisions and chose the light that is one step
outside of themselves, one step away from pain
and decay.

One step.
