Write a poem or letter to the world about an experience that changed you or your life for the better 1 years, 2 months ago Peace from destruction
Jordan EssenburgI climb to the cliff’s edge
And peer into the rocky waters
“No, I can’t do that,”
Suddenly,
A cotton blanket embraces me
Wrapping me up safely in warmth
The blanket leads me to a chiminea
I watch flames transform into fiery girls dancing with one another
Happily round and around
Then, they look at me, exit their stage, and draw a circle of flames around me
Their friendly smiles comfort me
As the ground surrounding me turns everything to ash
Smoke thickens and clears
And for the first time,
I feel peace from destruction.Voting is closed
Super interesting piece, Jordan. Is it a metaphor or something that really happened? Thank you for sharing and thank you for being part of our Unsealed family. <3 Lauren

No specific event, but I wanted to discuss the feeling when you’re disappointed by something or someone, and it ended up being the greatest gift.
