Two Shoes Tuesday… Thanks Josie

Winged

 

Years spent

struggling to ready myself

for a resolution

that never came.

 

Silent prayer-

Grant me the serenity
to believe
there are no answers.

First flight is imminent

unprepared, vulnerable,

Pushed from the nest

grasping at branches while I flap my wings.

Memories of your touch,

your scent,

the stories and parables into the night,

crying in the others embrace-

 

Somehow you stayed.

 

Today

for an instant

I couldn’t remember your face.

 

Im not ready
