Drift, Sway, Break.

I drift into the afternoon with the wonder of the New Year swaying above my head.
With fear and excitement engulfing my body and mind, I take a deep breath.
Break down the fantasies--good, bad, indifferent--erase and wipe clean.

Pure. Untouched. Bare. Raw and Ready.

Pushing through the next few weeks, dreading the hard goodbyes but reminding myself that it's just a new beginning.

I'll be back whether in body or spirit. I'll be back soon.
