quintessential love

In the quiet depths where
shadows fade,
I journey inward,
where my soul is laid

Through mists of doubt
and fears untold,
I seek the truths that long to unfold

Beneath the layers of masks I wear,
I find a spirit yearning to declare:
I am more than the echoes of my past
I am the journey, unfolding fast

In whispered winds and gentle streams,
I hear the echoes of my dreams

Each ripple, a story of who I’ve been,
each wave is a promise of what I’ll begin

Through valleys deep and mountains high,
I climb, I fall, I reach the sky.

In every stumble, I find my grace
In every trial, I embrace my place

With each step forward, I shed the old,
like leaves in autumn turning gold

I cleanse my spirit, let go of pain,
and find my gain in the cleansing

For in the depths of self-discovery,
I uncover the essence of me
a radiant soul, pure and whole,

Embracing the journey, heart and soul
so here I stand, in light so clear,
free from shadows, free from fear.

With newfound wisdom,
I am free; in self-discovery, I am me–
