Faith In Tomorrow

Black and white ripples dominate
trickling down my arm like deceitful venom.

I pull back abruptly in sheer dismay
I do not think I want to live in captivity.

Past times will not overrule new colors
I wish to see cheerful autumn unfold before me.

I conclude that I am not who I was
my veins are moving with charismatic blood.

I decide to turn this grey leaf fully over
revealing magnificent golden sunshine.

Its gentle hands tickle my laughing nose
as I kiss the inner beauty it embraces within.

Playful winds flip my hair happily across
I realize life has resumed its creative cycle.

With a spiritual change in my soul
I am at last a spinning fall dreamer.

Goodbye insecure capturing fears
Hello unselfish welcoming love.
