Kim V. Poetry

The past…she is a fickle mistress.

But you cannot run from her.
For she is everywhere,
Leaving creative carnage in her wake.

So I bid you,
Embrace her.

And make the change
To see a new way.

Walk the path between
Today and tomorrow,
With courage and heart.

Feel her freedom,
Like black birds soaring
In an emerald sky.

Let her heal your wounds
With her lethal tenderness.

And take back your fear
Of the storm.

And you find will home, again.

Change is not popular.
But it is necessary.

For if not,
You may be lost to the violence
And the charms of those lurking
In the shadows.

Because “this is how villains are made.”

Lost to time and magick,
As the pendulum swings.

Lost in a nightmare of Oz,
With nowhere to go.
