the enchanted forest door

let yesterday go
don’t think about tomorrow
or the next hour

to be tamed
the rebel
seeking freedom
the cautious
remaining content

the grappling
whether
to cross
the bridge
or stay firmly
planted

deep
within the forest
one finds
a place
so hidden
that
even
the angels
lose their way

darkened
by the overgrowth
the place
where one
can sulk
hours upon hours
in solitude

until

how so

because
you can

not take no

for the answer

she asked
