ode to who i may be
I came home tonight
a little worn away at the edges
unsure of myself
feeling timid about going my own path
wondering who i am
in the face of relationships that take away
rather than make flourish
and at that moment
of unknowing and not sensing a way forward
it came to me
I realized I wanted to write some verse
an expression
create some art in the face of the looming darkness
unknown and blankness of the future
and that's maybe what we do -
what I do....
in the face of the people, community and public at large
I fill the space between them and my own timid approach
with something beautiful
something of truth and wisdom
I see other people doing that too now
in the medium of their choice
finding their voice
making their own beautiful creations
and fighting their way forward
in the space between them and the others
as though to step up to a metaphorical microphone
clear your throat
and assert!
