The Flight

Teddy.15

 
I felt the presence
of an enormous shaped shadow
coming down in front of me
 
giant wings of courage
protecting me like a feathered shield
 
once again she was here
 
reassuring me, that I wasn't alone
she was right here
holding my hand
 
I couldn't even shake, my tremors
soothed by her grasp
 
her glow was so powerful
guiding me 
 
with a sense of tranquility
I felt strong
 
and as she swept me up from the depth of this my deepest darkness
 
holding me tight under her faithful wings
 
we were flying, flying into a magnificent sunrise
 
warm rays tickling my cheeks
 
until she decides I've seen enough
 
until she decides I'm finally ready
 
landing in a place where the light shines bright
 
she is silent
 
once again I see her eyes of fifteen carat diamonds
 
in a moment, she's gone
 
leaving her message all around me
 
in front of me, placing me gently on my road to walk
 
I now need to believe in myself 
 
I now need to take control of my fear...
 
and just like that I did.

      A flight without fight and you were there...
      I couldn't write anything like that, but as a rich visual description of a release from depression and anxiety I think you have owned it, Teddy.

      • Teddy.15

        My dear Dave, not depression for me but it could be for those who read it as it has a different meaning to each reader. so thank you, definitely anxiety of what i was going through in that moment a small procedure for a type of cancer I'm happy to say, it was all done and dusted the same day. Thank you for your very kind words 🌹
