Beauty Above

Like a breath of fresh air

A cool winter breeze

I spread my wings

And set my soul at ease,

There's a gentleness

About this flight

That has allowed me

To open my eyes widely,

I can see now

What has been hidden

For so long

And realize all I had to do

To overcome what I thought was forbidden,

Was clean the dust off these wings

Take flight

And view all the beauty in the world

I've been missing,

A blessing it truly is

Will do it more and more often

If the heavens allow me to do so.

unless we release that inner being and find a way to be true to ourselves there is no way to be able to love and be loved by others. too many of us feel it is self indulgent and egotistical to find ourselves. when someone can accept us for who we are, not for their own expectations.... there is love. i love the way you have shown that this is possible. great write.

Thank you for such kind words! I enjoy the way you read into the poem and cause me to ponder other things. You always make me dive deeper into thoughts and it's much appreciated. Thank you my dear friend. :)

yes, Tarry when we have lain in a terrible depression where there seems to be no light at the tunnel, it is a wonderful thing when we shoot up, spread our wings, brush them off and take flight......wondrous poem

The most powerful moments are the ones that catch us off guard when we are least expecting...it seems that you have awoken a new found understanding of self that shines through this poem. I hope you have found a peace that is not easily shaken. Thank you for sharing.
