Pegasus Flight

My apologies for these poor bits of verse. I'm afraid that I'm using them to allow me to express and clarify my own feelings and thoughts as I go through the various stages of transition.

Persephone

The music has started, the carousel spins,

I’ve accepted myself and my journey begins.

Long hours have I lain tormented by fears,

tossing and turning as my pet demons sneered.

Yet in that dark furnace I both lost and I gained.

The bonds that once held me, the dread weight of my chains,

are now a bright crystal that pierces the mist,

to now see what may be, what may not, and the risks.

The music runs faster, my steed spreads her wings,

Pegasus breaks free from her bonds as she springs.

Behind lies regrets, below lies old fears,

ahead lies a future, unformed yet so clear.

This flight is no fantasy, this journey no quest.

The dangers are real yet still I feel blessed,

for at last I can see who I was, who I’ll be.

And soon in my heart I know I’ll be free.
