[bodytext] => Standing on the edge, twisted and gnarled. Like a tree that’s caught in perpetual storm. Above me unknown, below me the void. Into which I seam to fall. Bit by bit,…Piece by piece….. Blown by the winds of circumstance towards a new life. Looking up, I feel naked, afraid, exposed. No new charade,… No new cloak,… Only possibility. Looking down I can see,…All the pieces of me. Like dead leaves in the wind. Blowing haphazard. Useless now… Discarded now… Remnants of an old cloak I no longer need. I’ll equipped I feel. Re-entering this life without my old protective shroud. The very thing that has blocked, my view of the world. Peering out from beneath my fresh new leaves. Tender and fragile. I squint at the sudden flood of light. Bright and warm. Full of promise and encouragement. I feel humbled and insignificant. In the face of all that is, and all that could be. And so I emerge from the storms of my past. Able to perceive the world from a wider,… Fuller,…more realistic perspective. I am aware now of how the world has sculpted me. Molded me,… into the complex person that I have become. As it does with us all,…in time. But with this new consciousness,… comes also a flood of practicality. And an unrelenting awareness of all the things left un-said and un-done,… and the urge to make up for lost time. Perhaps I’m done, with the guarded glance, and clever rebuke. Perhaps I’m done, pushing away the things that I need.. Perhaps with this new insight,…this new clarity. I’ll create a life in which I am not my own worst enemy. A life in which self punishment has no place. Perhaps a life in which joy and prosperity,… are attainable and achieved.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
