At the Speed of Light

I said a prayer for guidance

and my answer came

in the form of friends

close-by and afar

spurring growth in

leaps-and-bounds

at the speed of light–

almost more speed and light than

I can handle-

but perhaps

making up for lost time-

because I might have stayed

in grief, in self-pity,

for far too long

because I was afraid

of the future.

Or perhaps, just perhaps,

right now is the perfect time

to heal, and know

that everything in my life

is as it should be

my journey is

on the right path

the realizations are mind-blowing

and I am

where I need to be

right now

for a reason

and

for this season.
