Finally Whole

(Throwback from 2013. My introduction to Ekphrastic poetry)


             The woman I am today could not be, without struggles
             Fortunate to find wisdom,
             Making it through all life's troubles.
             Still learning, each day I become more wise
             Finding true love in the mirror, I cherish my prize.
             I've always walked with confidence,
             Filled with much pride
             Though now, as if I'm glowing,
             Floating with each stride.

             Looking back, how foolish it was to think,
             The pieces of my puzzle would remain incomplete.
             Only time will tell the tale,
             The story of my soul
             My spirit is undivided,
             My life "Finally Whole"!!

    1. Aww thank you. I was nervous about posting it because I’m still not very confident in my poetry, but the professor didn’t make any red marks or notations on it, lol. She simply said it is a spiritual uplift.
