dear 2009.

your longevity is a wonder
your trials a curse
under no circumstances did you waiver
a testament of true strength
you shattered what i loved most
you took from my well
left me bare, dry, empty
a sense of animosity
glassed over my heart, my mind

and then one day
as would a bubble of air
i rose to the surface
one foot in front of the other
with a divine shield
i fought through the torrent
finding my way
getting there ever so slowly
it was then, when the well was dry
i saw your true value
your undying will
to teach me what i needed
to do it on my own.

2009 was a year that gave as much as it took. This can be said both personally and on a larger scale. we've had an opportunity to take so much and learn from it all, making 2010 a year of wonders.
