Once Again

I sometimes
find myself reaching out
grasping
for the wind
hoping
maybe
that it would take me
away

I close my eyes
and dream
the thousand dreams of soaring
towards the sun
and sometimes
even somewhere
where life is just dark enough
to hide my beautifully scarred imperfections

And it wouldn'��t matter
if it were a cold temperamental rage
as his love once was
or simply a warm breeze without a direction
as I yearn for now
it doesn'��t really matter just as long
as it takes me away
to somewhere
faraway
to a place where
I am not the act of hate burned into my soul
or even the person
who overcame
what love can sometimes do
you see
I simply want to be
me
once again

mig25,

This is a most moving piece. I read it once, at first, and had to go back and re-read it again. What a beautifully flowing poetic discourse. Very nice - if I may.

Thank ye for opening up and showing true inner emotion. It was fun.

I love this forum!
