breakthrough

odd exercise, this
grieving
what i never had,
cleaving to a dream
that did not exist.


strange magic, this
believing
in letting go,
leaving the past
so i can fly.


true bliss, this
heaving
a huge sigh,
weaving my future
for me this time.



 

painting: wyeth's "shed lantern"

A very cathartic write. Those are always nice to see. And the painting is the perfect compliment. Like you can see your future shining through the window.
