In a sudden gaze
I found you
standing on your own convictions
for once
and finally.
you were humming your own tune
a tale as young
and new
as the leaf you just turned.
You were dancing
to your own beat
not a marching paso
but a fluid contemporary
embracing shades of emotion
both light and dark
accepting the existence of them
and I wept at the sight of you.
The most beautiful second chances
truly
are those we gift ourselves.

Dear Ellie - I admire your 'Chutzpa' in giving that 'Top' lady what's for..! In your charming fashion. I've never written on Medium: As you may remember, I'm not a writer at all, as you are - Just a silly storyteller with my goofy sketches that lead into them. But, I started to tell this person of interest primarily what you said; so thanks for doing it for us: If you're counting pennies in order to enjoy what it is that you do; who needs that! Good for you..! Jay Kantor, Chatsworth, California 'Senior' Vocal Author - Vocal Village Community -
