Emergence
You are gone again
And alone with my thoughts
I find the peace of my soul
Pouring onto the page
My pen returned to my hand
And myself morphed back
Into the woman I am when
Not contorted by another's perceptions
There is simplicity in solitude
No expectations, no judgment
No need to distort feelings
To achieve another's ideal
Like a single rose
Emerging through the lush leaves
Of Springtime's rebirthed branches
I blossom into the sunlight
Fragrant with knowledge
Rich with the aroma of renewal
Strong with confidence of self
Blooming in the center of life's table

I like the simile you use to show those moments of withdrawal. This kind of seclusion is something I seek regularly. Great write:)

These lines make the entire poem in my humble opinion. Hi sis, and I am so sorry that I haven't been aroud lately. This is a wonderful poem of self fulfillment, and growing through written words. You say you don't know where the words come from and that this is one of those poems. Well sis I don't always know where my words come from either. A word or two comes into my head and less than 5 minutes later a poem is born. When we can write poems like Emergence, and compare that Emgergence to a single rose, then your muse has done her job, and inspired you to write this beautiful poem of becoming one with yourself. Thank you sis, this is a beautiful poem, and written with the right choice of words that makes us think about our own Emergence.
May the Lord bless you, and those whom you love and who love you, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & (((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your little sister, Barbie
