Discovery

All through the sleeping days

I was acting on the stage

mimicking actions done for years,

parroting words of others

unsure, confused, rejected;

Yet I had wings

to fly like a bird.

When I chose to be the audience

I stopped judging

enjoyed the role

started loving it all, from end to end

understood the importance

of waking up, accepting

my performance.

The same mundane world around me

uncovered, softened, changed;

Detached, I was stable on the ground

my feathers could lift me beyond the sky

anytime

independent and free.
