Wild winged friend
distracted me today
Eye-to-eye
urged me silently
Unwrap my wings
fly far away
Across the miles
into the magic woods
Reclaim the stolen
free my soul

He was especially early this morning, 7:15, when he walked in the room saw me sitting at the desk writing as I listened to music; smiled and said “That’s my girl!” He walked over to where I was, I stood and he gave me a giant hug, took me to the bed checked me once more over, told me how wonderful I’ve done and set me free!
Well, till next Monday anyway…

Would you make me a beautiful corpse, for all the world to see – then turn me to ash and release me to the breeze. For my life light shines so very dim, and I’m all out of bulbs to make it bright again.

The day dawned
Bright and new
Sunlight streaming
Warm breeze wafting
Pulling me from sleep
A magickal slumber
Awakening at last
To a brand new world
Strange and foreign
Yet somehow seemingly familiar
Where my first thoughts
Were not of another
But simply of myself
Taking moments to realize
A transformation had happened
And things that meant
So much yesterday
I find now of absolutely
No consequence
Shift happens
So I’ve always said
Having fully believed
Now finally experiencing
Thinking of myself
Finally for a change
In a positive light
Completely unselfishly
Taking care of me now
Priority number one
And those who choose
To be part of my life
Can take me as I am
Or simply move on
I will not apologize
For my thoughts and my feelings
For my wants and my needs
For my faults and my weakness
For my human frailty
And while they are still
Very much part of me
They no longer define me
This person I am
An independent thinking
Strong-willed intelligent woman
Who will no longer settle
For less than she deserves
I fell off to sleep
Bleeding, bruised and broken
I woke filled with courage
Hope and determination
I will no longer suffer
Or be any mans fool
A new day has dawned
And I’m changing the rules

Attempting flight
Breaking free of gravity
That holds me down
In my thinking
In my feeling
In my being
Wanting desperately
To rise above
These emotional obstacles
Release the floodgates
Feel the strength
Once more of my
Passions
Unleash my spirit
From these constant
Restraints
Stretch my wings
In a state of grace
And remind myself
Who I really am

Release your soul
From martyrdom
When the cause is
Misunderstood
Stone walls cannot
A prison make
If you have freedom
In your love
