The Other Side

Breathtaking views from here--
new heights I've dared to climb.
You gave me your hand.
Whispered magic
let me fly.

Seeing for the first time
with eyes all my own.
Your seamless
imagination.
Endless realms
of possibility.

Abiding in the Shadows of Grace

Longing to meet you
my unblossomed child.
Waiting with a salt-filled mouth--
no more.
You are the sweet nectar
that quenches life's thirst.

May your wings unfold
their strength and beauty.
Knowing no boundaries,
lest your fears keep us apart.
You are the divine
token of love perfected.

Stumble

Long forgotten hopes dismantled.
Picking up the shattered remnants
more slowly, carefully this time.
And yet, still moving.

Forgotten...Never Gone

Wondering...
what's outside
these walls
seem solid
safe--but
too small
for ME.

Breaking...
the rules
start over
making waves
bring color
seeping through
my veins.

Finding...
new self
is the
same girl
from playgrounds
long forgotten
never gone.

Idealism's Balcony

REPEats Picasso
REPEtition brings ABSTRACTion
ABSTRACT in the
RAINbow carried by
RAIN OUTside myself
OUT flows hopeFULness
FULL of IDEAls
IDEAs from within.
