Is that really me?
I have lost that smile
for a decade.
For the first time
in a long time,
I look ahead without
the fear of sunset.
It is all because
the safety I feel
through your lens.

Walk away
don’t pack
another person’s life
into your suitcase
just
walk away
with
the most valuable will
to survive
the shell you lived in
was long decayed
with warm toned furniture
fluffy rugs
and distant smiles in
old photographs
don’t think about tomorrow
what you will need
tomorrow takes care of itself
take hold of today
for
you have lived on
after
the unattended emotions
the isolation from life
the false hatred of yourself
walk away
you walk away
from ruin
to
a new vista
Freedom
break off the commitment leash
jump for joy over the fence
to ever greener pasture
run wild on hills and in valleys
summersault adrenaline ignites every cell
I can breathe!
I can breathe
the wildflowers’ subtlety
the wildfire’s smog
and
the summer love
once more
