WISH UPON A STAR

I am worn out from

the climb to Freedom


The need to break away

From the shackles of my past

Are so strong

It forces me to keep going…


I get up every time I fall


My pain guides me

Through the blizzard

When my rage

Blinds my future


Pieces of my broken heart

Rise up

Restricting my airway


I choke on

Past disappointment

Painful betrayal


When I think I will black out

I see her sad blue eyes

Vulnerable

Focused


Her tears flow unguarded

Through mine


Her past

Is my present


I want to comfort her

Protect her

Save her


Fine veil between

Love and hatred

Acceptance and rejection


I lie very still in the dirt

Surrounded by

Shrapnel of past dysfunction


My breath is shallow


Fog sets in


My mind backfires

Replaying what I desperately

Need to release


Over and over...


With highly-strung notes

Of urgency!


Deafening


Paralysing


I am stuck in two parallels

Colliding


Light and Darkness

Ricochet


Every drop of rain

Cuts like a razor-edged sword

Penetrating clarity


I still struggle

To see a way out!


All escape routes

Are securely

Barricaded

By chains and fear!


As I become defeated

Prepare to take my last breath

Her soul penetrates

Deep into the

Essence of mine


In her outstretched

Tiny hand

She clenches something

As if her life depends on it


With the little strength I have

I prize her fingers open

To see a

Rusted key

That has been exposed

To all the elements

Of erosion


Of Life...


It takes all her courage

To offer it to me


I am reluctant to take it


We are both overwhelmed

By fear of

Stepping into the unknown


Of what this exchange will manifest


Time slows down

To non-existent


As our blue eyes lock

In unison


We both know

It is time for Truth


Our past trauma merges

Our hearts intertwine

Our past and present unify


I feel her little hand in mine


All negative belief systems

That have kept us imprisoned

Shatter!


Transmute into the Galaxy!


Our dreams reflect back to us

From all the stars

Wished upon

Before we were taught to

Give up on them


Without spoken words


...We RISE!
