I am Woman (2-1-09)

This day I go forth
thanks to a friend,
Big John!

Fear hath kept
my soul caged
in lonely silence.

Now I am free. (?)

My wings are still wet,
for I have just left
the security of my cocoon.

Wrapped in the swaddling
of a new born spirit
I venture out on the NET.

Here I go.. Out on the tightrope!

Trepidations and yet
eager to see the world,
I take baby steps.

No comforting arm
to grasp when I am fearful
Just my own equilibrium.

Don’t look down..fool !

I inch my own way
across the crevasse
of self exposure.

My gut is filled
with magenta butterflies
in a bile green soup.

What keeps my rope taut?

If I fall will my
scream be heard
or just ignored?
