evocative

residual effects of a long time coming
memories prove the catalyst to an evolution of character
re-invigorating what once was, now enhanced with experience
to become an aspect of a perfect self

reflection allows for growth
encompassing all of me, all of the inspirational person I desire to be
and for that allowance: of time, of mental capacity, of humility
I am glad
and I am honored to be here and alive and worldly in my way

for those who have hurt me, cheers to you
for those who have helped me, my sincerest thanks and appreciation
for those who pass and make me stop and consider an aspect of life, cheers
for those who love me, truly love me, I love you more than words can describe

true happiness is not a right, it is earned
and one must consider the sadness to understand and recognise
the privilege of being content in this fluid universe of reasoning and emotion

peace.
