This could pass over or through but your eyes are not clouded. The leafless branches of the tree hold up the nest just like your empty heart will expand, refill.

Let go of that dark time before. Let it seep away. It was never anything more than a halo around your brightness. Nothing more than a trick of the eye and the heart.

All you have to do is open your hand and take it. Take it all. Now.

Be brave, soul. Recognize that moment when everything is full.
