i'm going to have to step out of my
comfort zone of clouds, wind and
rain. home in darkness is where
i would rather be. i am known,
there. out in the open, there are
no shadows to hide behind: it'll be
just -- me, backlit by my fear of
change. must do this, if i am ever
to learn what it means to grow ...
a step into the unknown is a step into exploration of self as much as the new environment -- there is a statement of truth and mystery in your poem Karla -- much love and peace my dear friend -- Jon Michael
Sometimes we must step outside ourselves, step out of the comfort zone, in order to face our fears ... not easy steps, by any stretch. Deeply emotive, Karla. Hugs, Elizabeth
YES! Karla, YOU must
when YOU are ready!
Take one foot at a time, and the rest will follow!
It's the "not knowing" we are most scared of, till we take the plunge!
It's easier than we thought it would be!
Growth is important and a must, as you begin to reach out!
In all areas of life, meeting people/making new friends, writing, book publishing/New Love/New Pet/etc.
GOOD LUCK and HAVE FUN! I love your writing style and your heart, show more of it!
GREAT POEM!
I love the picture and it's depth!
Much love, light, adventure and Hugs, Warrior Purple Lady SHEExooo
Karla,
A fantastic photo. For me, this poem reflects a fantasy for the mountain profile - what he/she is thinking. However, it also has a deeper meaning, maybe reflecting genuine fears or reservations. Excellent:)

Oh, dear Karla, you are so talented and such a totally lovely person!
For some reason, God is stirring your nest, but never fear, as the eagle, He is always near and ready to catch you as you stretch your wings. I quoted Ps. 56 in the poem I posted today. Another verse from it is: "When I am afraid, I will trust in Thee." I used it many times to help my kids when they would be afraid in the night. Mighty powerful words for the child of God! Love ya, Connie
I hope I'm not being too naive to recall the famous words
of FDR: We have nothing to fear but fear itself. I am confident, dear Karla, that the darkness you seek will glow with the light of your great talent. -gene.
Karla, it never hurts to stretch out into other areas, but maybe instead of darkness you might consider stepping into sunshine. Paint us rainbow words with sweet ice cream and sprinkles on top. ~ Sara
Karla I think your last few writes have proven that you can step into other realms and genres and explore the whole spectrum of writing. We should never limit ourselves in writing for there are so many fresh avenues to explore. If anything your new works lately have been even better than your weather works. Keep smiling.

You are NOT a stranger, Karla: storm poetry is where you excel, feel most comfortable. That's okay. I am trying to get out of my comfort zone of "disability"; not easy, but I am trying to do it. Like you. You did very well here. Keep on writing! EXCELLENT write, and that piccy is gorgeous!
(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin (and biggest fan!), Karen Lynn. :(
Hope the sun shines for you soon; I hate to see you so sad!
Sometimes we have to force ourselves to step out of our comfort zone, but doing so shows great courage so I commend you, an excellent write as always

Astute point of view and a moment of realization that doesn't come to all of us unfortunately.
