Cracked Teacup Dreams

By -
Fear, I have faced you many a times 
Hidden behind fake brevity 
Holding nerves with shaking hands
Stood at a standstill 
Afraid the boat might rock 
Lest we sink in the abyss of perpetual motion.

I see the destination 
The becoming  and unbecoming 
Holding back
My crown down 
For a moments peace
Should I let the world observe me.
 
Do not swallow me 
Attention; I want you, I don't want you
I crave courage 
Come find me courage
I long to soar high 
Whilst I hide in the safety of anonymous.

I shall hold you amidst despair
Do not disparage me.
This stumbling in between 
Searching and finding 
Giving and taking 
Knowing and being.

Shall I match beyond the pages
To the stages 
The podium awaits 
For the performative performance 
I long to soar high 
Whilst I hide in the safety of anonymous.

Scary, isn't it This place  This risk-taking place Where you step off that comfort train Leave your attachments behind. This place,  This Anything Can Happen place Where you are excited and yet dreadful Acceptance is paramount In this place     @Sue.Ketter

Where I'm going

Only I can decide who I am So I took a step forward Leaving the place that hugged me I decided, what I want to do, I will do now No more waiting for later, later made me complacent Leaping into the unknown, moving ahead to go back in time To be who I was meant to be. The universe will catch me, I hope My heart's pounding, I want to say a mile a minute but I'm over clichés There's a little T-rex in all of us apparently So I will roar through these pages To find my place in the vastness of space. Got lost for a while there, fitting in was not for me  Neither was standing out, yet not invisible either Like an elephant in the Arctic Who knows, maybe this elephant can survive the Arctic. I am born of love and loss and everything in between I have traveled far to come full circle I am become a revenant This purpose I seek, my soul embrace thee.     @Sue.Ketter

FOR ONE MOMENT

For one moment, Just a single moment, The music played, Like it would never end, Sweet, sensual, and soothing, Yet so powerful. For one moment, Just a single moment, Her heart stopped She couldn't breathe, Felt like forever, Yet so little a time. For one moment, Just a single moment, The moon and the sun Shone brighter, The light so illuminating, Yet so subtle. For one moment, Just a single moment, The earth stood still, For the lovers, It was forever Yet just a short time. For one moment, For that single moment, She believed, That love exists for everyone, To hold and to cherish, Yet be held and be cherished.         @Sue.Ketter
