WrenWind Posted April 25, 2003 Report Share Posted April 25, 2003 (edited) The sun never shines here darkness is all curled in the corner back to the door Don't turn on the light I don't want to come out Stop knocking on the door I'm not ready You opened the door anyway a flood of light precedes Lifted from the floor carried out into the day held close to your heart I feel safe The sun beats down on me a warm summer breeze my covering gently removed How did you know it was time? blood pumping filling out wings! I have wings Revel in the light gossamer wings shine delighted flight You knew and released me Fly with me now the light beckons Edited May 9, 2003 by WrenWind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salinye Posted April 26, 2003 Report Share Posted April 26, 2003 Wow Wren, how did I miss this? I really like this, however, I'm speculating several different meanings. Care to share your thought pattern? ~Salinye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrenWind Posted April 26, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2003 I started with a mind picture of a woman/butterfly and I was in an odd mood since I can't turn them into visual art I wrote it down instead I sometimes wish I could paint *sighs* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tattered Posted May 9, 2003 Report Share Posted May 9, 2003 Beautiful! That stark contrast from darkness to freedoms light! I have had times when I felt just the same- shut away, unwilling to shine. Then someone comes along to release me. Too bad it doesn't happen everytime. I am curious to know the story behind this one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
