The End of a Tether
--
When I read this one I get the feeling I have reached the end of the road.
The end of a journey!
The end of where fear keeps me, kept me.
All of the courage to take that first step is a reflection of taking that very first step into the unknown, full of fear and now the fear of that has been resolved; this fear is a ‘normal’ fear.
This fear isn’t made up of irrational, unresolved issues, this fear is made up of a natural response to not knowing quite what is going to happen, yet excited about it instead of at every turn looking for that rock to hide under.
This step is the very first step of the rest of your life.
The End of a Tether
Grippling and grappling,
nowhere to turn,
knowing that the end is near.
Walking along
with nothing to hold on to
because this is the last step of fear.
With the final break
freedon comes,
the past is all but contained
in a memory box,
there,
but not in place
and the shackles have been unchained.
What will there be
without all this now?
For so long it’s been the way!
Now all of the courage
to take that first step
will be there from that very first day.
All of the strength
that has been gained
will carry you forward and on.
There is space to fill
with all that is good
now that everything else is all gone.
Thank you for reading 💖
