I must begin again
push
myself away from this sword that hangs above me
soon enough it will let loose and find me
but for now why live in its shadow
take hold of what is this moment
garb myself with coat and mittens and boots
step outside and feel the day
get lost in snow and cold
hear the birds
watch the squirrels
be aware of breath
hear it speak
going down deep inside
to nourish every cell of my being
Then suddenly I am there
that I am so much more than this moment
brimming delicious
huckleberries
hello sunshine hippie chick
she is always and never the same
one hot mama of autumn awakenings
hello sunshine, beautiful dreamer
Live life with flair
let your inner artist emerge
...the bar has been raised
love the in betweens
celebrate love
live free
fire in her soul
you're unforgettable
embellished,
I secretly wish I

..more moments
like these.

So, I'm not the only one whose aware of "The Sword" dangling above my head? Once you mentioned that line, I was hooked through the entire poem. Such great thoughts with truth, depth, and honesty.

Lovely post , you sweet, little hippie chick! Collage is powerful isn't it. You did a great job making that. I can see you in all those beautiful words. But yes, please, move forward away from that sword.
ReplyDeleteoh yea...flowers and all
DeleteCollage is very powerful.....I didnt believe it until I did it for years....and then one day I sat and looked at it all...and low and behold...it was there
Sadly there is nothing I can do about this sword...but love it
Love your collage, you red hot mama of autumn awakenings! A talent to share with the visiting grandchildren, perhaps?
