Poem featured at Every Day Poems.
Out of the
depths
I find myself untangled by the reeds of my tests
does this mean that I am to be blessed with the light
of a new sunrise?
As I emerge to the surface and open my eyes
will I see the pale blue skies?
or clouds?
Aren't both the same anyhow
Aren't both the opening to our hearts
I must start to emerge from the depths of the waters
without a worry for what may be
because, although the depths have been my safe haven
my safe place
you'll still see its trace as I stand in the sun
a new dawn has begun.
Thank you for the prompt to share a poem in this way. 💖
