recoiling
shirking
running away
escaping
I wish I could go back to the dive boat
Lie back against the sea
The sky is a blanket
And the constellations a guide
The stars are all out tonight.
Waves crash starboard side
The troubles washed away
A shooting star -
A wish that flies.
(For you wish upon a star,
Especially one that is rare.)
A land away from home
Distance placed
Felt like a gulf
One that stretched and widened
Retreat? Or Withdrawal?
Seclusion my sanctuary
An endless winding road
All uphill with nowhere to escape
Suffocated, Stifled
Find the space to breathe
Stop and smell the roses
The tulips are smiling today
Leave them behind
Shed the cumbersome skin
Flit away like a butterfly
Emerging from it's coccoon
Breaking the bondage
Escaping the repression
Release, liberate
Rejoice in the freedom
A breath of fresh air
In the airless room
Cold and refreshing
So, Awaken.
Now.
