THE Question

What do you want?

A clear direction

A road without blockades and broken bridges

A ridgeline, sure, something I can hang onto

Assuredly riding the edge with a death grip

A ship sailing on smooth seas

With the breeze BEHIND me

I want to drive

A car with no need of gas or electricity

I want to fly unecumbered

No broken wings or clipped feathers

I want to partner together

No question bearing

No hesitations wearing away

At my vows

No doubts that drown my destiny

I want clarity

Not disparity

I want decision making to be mine

Without red tape

Tied around my eyes

A blindfold and stranglehold

I don't want to be told what I should think, believe, grieve and even see

I want to be me

And free

I want to climb up into the trees

Spread my wings

And finally

Dream

About the Creator

Kt

I embarked to my favorite coastline several years ago in search of feeling in a dark season and accdientally wrote a poem. I have written ever since.

Poetry is what my friends know me for, but words burn in my bones.
