Taking Flight




The Sunday Muse #54

Life is a balancing act as fragile as a baby bird
At time sending me into spirals as black as a crow
And other times granting me a glimmer of light

Surviving life on the edge then finding the courage
to step off the ledge and soar to new heights
reaching, discovering and attaining everything
that was once beyond my reach

No longer locked in darkness
chained without chains

Faith restored
strength regained
my voice being heard
self-awareness preserved

    I was caught right from the line " into spirals as black as a crow". Gorgeous stuff.
