You live in the land of the Dawn, the place where Light is being born. Darkness grips you still, as labour pains begin. You exist in the Between, the not-yet, the middle of the fairytale, where witches cast spells and evil triumphs and your happy ever after has no power – but your story is…

You live in the land of the Dawn,

the place where Light is being born.

Darkness grips you still, as labour

pains begin. You exist in the

Between, the not-yet, the middle

of the fairytale, where witches

cast spells and evil triumphs and

your happy ever after has

no power – but your story

is not over. Not yet. That dawn

breaking leaks words on your pages,

penning resolve, perseverance,

hope, courage into existence

and you, awake in the dark, see

stars before they shine – prophetic

promises – with your eyes of faith.

    you see stars before they shine… just wonderful, Melody!

    1. melodylowes

      🙂 Thanks Pam! Some days I do – and some days I’m pretty blind.

      1. Pam

        but the blindness doesn’t last, because we’ve seen light and will never forget it

        Now, THAT I like! Freedom tastes too good to throw away, doesn’t it?

  6. I HAVE A VOICE

    ok, ok, let me resolve to de-solve!

    1. melodylowes

      🙂 Something tells me you have already been able to do that in your life….

    You painted a great picture of the not-yet.

      And aren’t we all there? We aren’t quite what we could be – but we’re on our way! (Hopefully…)
