The heaviness
vanished
That had taken over
Leaving her dampened
and diminished
The darkness dissipated
In a split second
Light filled her eyes
The room
Her heart
With two beautiful words
“You’re hired.”
"This weekend we're asking for 33 words about a new beginning."

ReplyDelete“You’re hired.”
I long to hear those precious words. I think a lot of us out there are looking to be wooed by someone from an HR department these days.
I will keep you in my thoughts and hope that you soon hear those words.
