take a step back
take a breath
take a look at
what happened
in the past
learned lessons
from un-named friends
gifts & greetings bestowed
from the unknown
shouted obscenities
just to be heard
they weren’t new words
texts & tidbits of tripe
transmitted
………………………bending
backwards
to conceal
leaning to the right
when left would ease
some pain
realizing
all the rights
didn’t wipe out the wrongs
piling the garbage
in the corner
instead of empting
your mind of trash
so
step forward
for
backwards never worked
the flowers bloomed
then petals fell
clear skies grayed
casting spells
1 doesn’t need to try
to see the light
you bathe in it
every night
when it’s the darkest
it is the dawn
open your eyes
open your heart
…………………………………….fly
……………………………………………..without fear
…………………fly
Yes.
Thank you!
