master piece

Steady wins the race.
Stealthily hearts are stolen.
Silently souls are lost.
Shamelessly hearts are broken.
What I’m trying to say is once upon a time I gave him a higher position than God in my life,
yes, I’m ashamed and yes I admit it,
because that’s the only way to get past it
and move on. So I’m taking the first step to a new life
with no marionettes in play.
I’m going to cut strings and dream big.
I’m going to smile and stand tall,
even though sometimes I feel small.
I know its life and it shan’t be perfect
but it’s a chance I will take cause I’m headed somewhere.
I can see it as I sit on the balcony gazing at the sun set,
perfect hues blending from light and dark shades
till black engulfs the universe and beautiful jewels
appear in the sky.
I join the stars and draw pictures of the life
I envision behind shut eyes.
They play back to me in frames that complement each other
and look like heaven,
and just when the credits are about to appear.
I press pause because I don’t want to stop dreaming,
i join more stars to create more frames
I know I’m wide awake but these dreams are sweet,
and the wind is cool,
my soul drifting to places I can only imagine,
flying, enticing me to learn how to soar.
So I too may learn how to play ‘Join-The-Dots’ in the sky…
i press pause so I can start to fill in the pictures in the black sky with color.
Begin this master piece that has been long overdue.
