A road into the distance
Where everything's still shrouded
In mist
Full of my inner strengths
I set the first steps
Even as trepidation
Knocks loudly on the door
Of my sleeping common sense
The ground trembles over powered
with excitement
An echo of the singing
That reaches a crescendo
In my body
Discovery of new possibilities
Waiting to be tasted
Experienced now while my wings
Are but partially extended
The sweet regrets of leaving
Hang for one moment only
on my tongue
my eyes caress familiar places
too well known
life waits not forever
I spread my wings
I soar
