Metamorphosis
By
Lisa A.Williams
And so we stand
facing each other
ghosts haunting our
past
fear lingering
in the dark of
ourselves.
Years have made us
strong
we embrace it all-
the old we couldn’t
let go of,
the new which
fills us with hesitation.
We sift through all
those days we
breathed away,
scattering ourselves
to a merciless wind
who will transform
us-
in spite of ourselves.
This is so spot-on. Your poetry continually speaks to me, I so connect with it. Deep, excellent write.
ReplyDeleteFantastic. Transformation is the journey "in spite of ourselves". I so resonate with this poem.
ReplyDeleteStrong write here. Facing another person, despite the ghosts haunting the past....you have captured the feeling / the experience well.
ReplyDeleteConsider getting rid of that CAPTCHA thing. It doesn't make a blog very user friendly.
I like how breathing links to wind at the end. Fantastic joining of ideas.
ReplyDeleteWow. Love this one. I can really relate and I LOVE the ending, so,so true that we have no say over the way we change and evolve. I think that is why transformation is so powerful and crucial. Magical piece.
