Iam

Renascent

A chameleon changing her skin

I am content and you are not here

What does that mean?

There is a shadow

I want to tell her my secrets all

I am strong

But brave enough to weather the storm?

The fallout from your life of wounds

Has battered me and left me bruised

But somehow I feel whole again

Amidst the uncertainty and pain

So I sit and comprehend my space

Just a grain of sand, washed up in the right place

At the crest of the wave today

But on the wheel of fortune the game of life is played

So the adjustment to loss is like a journey over hill and down dale... somehow tossed on the sea of life, or strapped to the unrelenting wheel of fortune.

You capture the fragile mood well, and find strength in sharing.

Oh god that's embarassing! Haha thanks Jibey. This was a very spontaneous snapshot, maybe it came across more sombre than the reality of the moment. I am actually an optimist, would you believe?

Easily done... Reading it again I realise that you ARE being quite upbeat about the future, despite the bruises of the past.

But the wheel of fortune and the crest of the wave are precarious, to say the least.

Good job you can swim.
