Wisps of Change





a lifetime spent
in others' shadows

unsure how to step
across lines or see
beyond the box

lived safe as others
thought right

confidence waned,
pushed deep; lost

unworthy of the air
you inhaled

or so I thought

until a moment
of sheer coincidence

a chance erased lines
caused boxes to disappear,

this house of cards collapsed

grew wings of gossamer,
unfurled freedom


against winds of yesterday,
I fly for life today

to go out there,
and explore the outside world
that I've always feared.

    We never know who we are... until, we do. Often the power of the flame, that burns within us, amazes us with its intensity. A delight to the dreams waiting to be born, a cause for panic by all those who had learned to see us by ignoring us.
    Love,

      Tom, there was more than panic in his eyes when realisation hit him. Was like a brick hitting him when I closed the door. That feeling of freedom is an amazing thing.
      Love
