Jump

Introverted Sage

Everything I had, you took it all.
Now no one gets close, I've got these walls.
Afraid to take a step, for if I fall.
Forced to take off running, can barely crawl.

Leaving you I'll feel relief.
Seven realizations to keep it brief.
Patching up some holes with these new leaves.
Away the wind will take me on this breeze.

Mountain climbing was not my suit.
Forest dwelling is the proof.
Darkness fades, clouds on the move.
Freedom harken, breaking loose.

Swimming deep I found a Rose.
What got wet, barely my toes.
Learning lessons, it's what you show.
Humbled deeply and forced to grow.

Quiet growth or making waves.
Sequenced melodies make them behave.
Feelers growing, oh my days!
Learning to revolve these power plays.

    I feel you! "Forced to take off running, can barely crawl"----oh my!!! Because from tragedy we learn growth, discernment and understanding. But it's not easy! Let's jump....still!

      I appreciate your comment!!

      thanks for sharing such a great write, i related
      so couldn't help scribbling a little reply
      (do we jump
      or are we pushed?
      consequence of circumstance
      as a director of our reactive actions
      we begin, with wide eyes
      and open heart's
      then our hips are pulled
      into a dodging game, without warning
      or a warm-up
      that's how our life's bruises and injuries
      accrue...
      still, if we've done enough to survive
      jump or pushed
      what matters is that time will handle the rest
      we just need to find a way to move on
      as soon as we can, so as to not let
      these bloodsucking parasites
      waste anymore of our precious time and breath...)

        Yes exactly!
        'Time is of no meaning when learning to fly'
        I appreciate your time and comment!
