Finally,
she made it to the edge,
and stood still,
(within her sadness)
burdened by her life's melee.
They say, they saw her standing,
listening, awaiting guidance,
(somewhat impatiently)
to see beyond her scripted play.
She looked at the scripted play that she was born into; her culture, beliefs, habits, patterns, and environment continue to play within and around her life. When she reached a crossroads in her life, she would make the same choices repeatedly.
Eventually, one day, she gave herself the time to sit and listen and to remain open. Here, she came to understand there was a better, a different way.
She understood it was time to stay in silence and listen.
