Turning point

Reluctant writers

stepping out of the shadows,

out of the cool, damp, mellow home

where we hide our sorrows,

our tortured thoughts

chained to the furnace of regret,

on house arrest for our sins,

and the sins of others,

circling around

in our own captivity


But the light comes through the windows,

through the holes in the roof,

maybe I wasn’t meant to be so aloof.

the doorknob doesn’t seem so scary,

I turn it, walk out, and see,

the light rains down and thunders,

the feeling reverberates in me.

I soak up all around me,

the people and the trees,

growing side by side

with the force of destiny,

the unknown is adventure

with friends along the way,

exhilarated freedom

with every breath I play
