The trek

Trekking up the snowy path

Towards the cottage

Feet aching

Eyes tired

They long for a warm soothing mug of something hot to drink

A nice cozy bed to sleep in

Joining hands

They trek a few more feet

Snow covered

Almost defeated

Their journey has taken them miles into the forest

Then suddenly

The cottage door opens

A warm friendly face comes into view

Come on in

A banquet is waiting for you

Eagerly they go inside

Their journey is finally

At an end

Now they can rest their weary bones

Eat and drink

And sleep soundly tonight.

I am currently raising money to pay for ongoing psychotherapy. I am a survivor of complex trauma, I have dissociative identity disorder, and complex PTSD.  Therapy can be very expensive.

Don’t feel you have to, there is no pressure, but I’m grateful for any donations that are received.
