When love knocked

The first time love knocked

She could barely remember who she was. She was fossilized and love blew away layer's that had covered her for generations.

Through the pain she began to remember that she once ran with wolves, swam with dolphins, flew with eagles.

The layers were thick and heavy upon her and she shut the door,

Cocooned herself and began to heal.

She chilled and healed for years, quietly learned lessons and calmly peeled away layer after layer.

Until she began to recognize herself.

The second time love knocked

She was ready for it

She knew what was coming

She forecasted the tsunami

And it hit full force

She knew the drill

She opened her heart

She released with love

She loved no matter what

She put up boundaries

Anything that was left to clear was flushed out of her and she became a lioness

She felt free

She basqued in the sunshine

She learnt to roar and roamed in the forest.

She decluttered her den, cleared everything unnecessary. Was left with the bare essentials, prepared.
