The Woman I Was Before

From the ground

I need to climb

Reach for the stars

And await the moon to rise,

Hang upon her sensual glow

To empower me

For I've fallen too low,

Need to feel the graces

She has to offer

And bask in her oasis,

Confident I need to remain

And down below

It was not there to gain,

I feel a loss

That she can restore

Need to tune in to 

The woman I was before,

The immense hues

That she shines upon me

I can't help but dance within

And recapture the freedom, the happiness

That has allowed me

To overcome these blues.

coming out of a particular situation isn't that easy.. it takes time to heal and get back to what you are ..
but focus is the key and this poem depicts exactly how to do it ...
very impressive and lively ...
and particularly the last lines ooze life and determination ..
"I can't help but dance within
And recapture the freedom, the happiness
That has allowed me
To overcome these blues" ..
excellent !!

Hello Tarry,
I guess you are not blue now, but full of light!
