each
step moving forward
tangles
in sharp edged creepers
cutting
memories fresh,
red
thick heart oozes out;
impressions,
every last page, it pricks
the
next step forward,
an empty,
hollow space screams;
fear
lurches like dragons of the myths
yet
there is a sky yonder
blue
and deep where
dreams
do fly like flocks of birds
together,
together as
adorable
younglings with their mother,
the
invisible wings of an unknown beat inside;
love,
hope, ecstasy, compassion?
invisible wings, they are free like those
dreams
and
they do take you, drag you forward
giving
you infinity…
You remind me vividly how challenging and brave it can take to make that first step forward ~ The invisible wings are always with us, free to bring us further if we can to ~ Thanks for the lovely response Sreeja and wishing you happy week ~
