Out From Within the Shadow
70 parts Complete Introduction
In March 2013, following the completion of From Within The Shadow, I reached the point of feeling and being like I'd found my way out from within the shadow.
With each step it felt like I was opening like a flower:
Blossoming, growing stronger, taller, daily.
Pushing outwards, the seeds, to attract the honey bee,
like a chest being puffed out.
Petals like eyes, seeing the world, feeling the wind, the sun,
the rain.
Dancing, strutting, feeling a part of the world, stretching outwards to reach my full potential.
Out From Within the Shadow
I now stand out from within the shadow
tall, upright and in full glow
behind me now is where it is
only to visit as I reminisce.
Sweeter memories can now be found
as all the tangles have been unwound
and freedom is now the path for me
and with my new eyes the world I see.
