Dawning Creations

Heart rate spiking,
your mind is racing your pulse

Facing starboard,
your eyes are frantically
trying to find
something out there
bold enough to chase away
what keeps holding you in this place

Heart rate slacking
as your eyes
follow passing planes
and their purple clouds
not too far behind.

The heavy weight on your heart
begins lifting
as you spy two rabbits venturing closeby

A rainbow bursts through
the humid city haze

This time you let yourself succumb.
Trailing silent,
supple fingertips
overtop a candle’s flame

As your mind pleasantly drifts
a butterfly is migrating,
starting their great venture on.

Perhaps, without knowing it,
Yours is beginning, too.
