WHIMSICAL POETRY


Flutterings
03/2000

It is simply a matter of timing

Encased as I am
Within a cocoon of my own making
Your soul calls me to break free
But I am a captive of my memories.
And my wings are stilled by the sound of hearts breaking

You tell me
"Awaken from the terrors of your mind,
For you are all that gives them power"

I know the horrors you have endured are
So much worse than anything I can imagine -

You show me
Through your strength of purpose
You, who have survived the unthinkable

It is not desire, but heart that I am lacking
And the knowledge of when the time is right
