Dearest Me,

in this letter to you, I wish to set you free-

free from the pain you rejected, accepted, and battled.

I bid you

to remember the part of you

that walks with shoulders straight

as if a bow of gold were slung about them.

I wish nothing more

than to see you emerge from the dark waters you dove into

like Aphrodite rising

from the foaming ocean.

I can tell this excites you.

the images dance in your mind

of an inner world controlled by you

and you alone and

I see

that you shall love without chains.

Dearest,

I wish to remind you

that you are kind

but ruthless

in pursuit of what you want.

I wish to remind you

not to forget how to see

all that you have manifested

and

it is time to let go of the things you have done

of what has happened to you

and become kind to yourself once more.

I wish to remind you that

you are a singular entity

who exists within her own galaxy.

You move on a path that is entirely your own.

Can you feel it?

The way you feel as big as Gaia Herself

as tough as Athena born in armour

and head held high like Artemis.

My love

I wish for you to take this realization

and twirl until it settles around you

as a cloak of glittering magic.

My love

wear this cloak proudly

as you once did

and know that you are strong

and so is your heart.
