May I…?
I have a few words left inside of me, if you listen intently you’ll hear them pleading, “Audrey, write us as poetry.”
Forever the shy one with something to say, yet I return no longer hidden. I humbly ask for grace as I allow my soul the opportunity to speak again.
I miss you. I apologize for being away. My life has changed, but I’m still me. Just now gaining strength and peeking through… My poetry will continue.
Love Always,
Audrey Dawn
Skies of you
Manifesting wild
Hues of the prairie
Blowing through me
Desires running across
Time and my soul’s mind
I’ve decided to become lost
Inside colorful earthly patches
And thoughts of the wind blowing
Bringing me closer to musical tones
Your spirit proving to be my composer
Lengthening her grasp on reality
Slowly needing to release control
She pushes herself to walk forward
Will the ends of normal ever meet again
Realizing that everyone is watching
Often feeling they’d love to see her fail
She continues to track her mobility
Will the ends of normal ever meet again
A cheering crowd she doesn’t need
Never a half hearted slap on the back
She’s had a lifetime of accepting that
Will the ends of normal ever meet again
Wavering on the direction of her path
She focuses on an improved horizon
Settling for nothing but an honest effort
