Cresting 

/ K.L.Laettner author(InfiniteZip)

The resilience of wisdom rising,
carries us through the moments
as we sink deeper into the blue
we are suddenly caught up in the swell
buoying up and over
the crest of understanding
and the dawning awareness
of that which we already knew
deeper within
hidden in the depths
swallowed by the whale
of fear.
We rise in the light
magnified by the glaring sun
salvation saves while swimming in the belief
swirling round like the whirlpool
we lay on the surface above
watching the glistening drops turn
to the rainbows of hope
we lose ourself in the calm of peace
floating on the cascading thoughts
we move to the rhythm
of ever changing tides.

  5. So true! You’re blessed to have forged ahead and found this treasure hidden deep within. And then shared it so freely. I think this poem in particular captures that reality–which is in many ways as daunting and even terrifying as uncharted waters. I would love to hear now or in some other life the story of your life. I know it’s in every word you write, but….maybe someday….😊💕💜

  6. Thanks Elouise, I like to think all of the answers are in our treasure chest/pandora station box within….we’ve only forgotten where to find the key….intuition often leads the way, if we choose to follow it…..took me years to do that…..the idea of “what lay in there” scared me, kept me from taking a peek. Peace, love and happy Saturday my sweetest friend💜🕉🙏🏻😊

  7. “the dawning awareness of that which we already knew ” 🌈
    I love that insight. So true. Finding bits and pieces of ourselves where we weren’t even looking. 😊💕

  16. Hey, good morning sweets,
    got some catching up to do and you just jump started my day,
    an awesome day is the best, I start the new job today, and Every day something’s going on, Chi to the vet for stitch removal today (cross your fingers she doesn’t go ballistic again) slept good after shutting my mind down, meditating for 20 minutes pushing out the fearful thoughts and letting the waves (soothing words) crest over me. Peace and love, Kim

  18. thank you Michael ❤ I’m so glad you liked it, perhaps we’re like a yin and yang, you use anger to fuel, I use thoughts into words to self soothe 🙂
    peace and zen, K

    This entire poem is amazing Kim, but this part in particular took me on a zen filled journey 🙂
