Caught Between

Caught between

Secrets she brings to me by breeze
Whole tales of knowing
Filling my sails I wove into outrageous tapestry . ..

And as breeze turns tempest
I head first
And furious fast between
Two of my journeys most wicked curiosities

Scylla and Charybdis
They hold me in their clever midst
of whirling wrath
and rock hard riddle

A question!
Correct answer will give safe passage....
I fail and my ship proud holding my beautiful sails
Will twirl in wild swirl
Or be splintered into pieces
And slowdance down in ghostly drown
To rest in the mysterious depths
Of the wide
Vast
Dark deep blue sea....

And Scylla she says...
Crossly to me...
"Without it you are dead...
And if you are not, .... you are behind..."

I smile wide and say..
Ahead!!!
Scylla, she groans as she calms her churn
But Charybdis grins and seems quite happy
Maybe...
For a moment of her ease
But I swear she seemed..
To be grinning for me!?
"Then on and Ahead you shall be!"

And gladly gives safe passage..
She blows a blustry breeze kiss
To fill my tapestry sails...
And I carry on
My endless journey exploring me....

The wind on my back
A diamond lit starry map to guide me

I am a Woman ever reaching fingers
Towards new horizons....
And more
Much more than that...
a Woman ever free
