Bones litter entrance
history scattered in dirt

Bones litter entrance
history scattered in dirt
memories exit
Gentle rain drizzles down
misty drops
tears
absolving past
mistakes
washed away
a fresh start
new beginnings
grime and slime rivulets
taken away
dispersing darkness
that had been
impairing vision

Have you ever felt like you are someone else
looking in
looking out
You hear chatter and see smiles
volume up
volume down
You see motion
stepping fast
stepping slow
But what do you see
as time and distance strain
and fade away
What do you hear
as blasts turn to whispers
and fade away
What do you feel
as shaking turns to quivers
and fade away
someone in the mirror
fading away

World seen through wounded eyes
bruised shades of purple and black taint sight
timid feet afraid of open space
fear fits like a leather moccasin
malleable, familiar
want to remain on dysfunctional path
Heart cries tearless sadness for lost potential
pumps staccato beat of marching band refrain
encourages determination, change
Quiet reflection soothes and calms
eyes adjust focus
wounds heal
vision is renewed
