Lines and layers
Lines and layers
New eyes wide open to clear lines
boundaries optimistically balanced
to ricochet lessons learnt
Then the blur as growth spurts
flushed cheeks ensuing rebellious standoffs
It is never clear in those murky waters,
that jolt and jostle a stirred sense
As if at any moment one may drown
as the flow takes control one more is lost
As an etched story accumulates
lines will be crossed in silence
But layers speak a deafening betrayal
as survival dictates all will succumb
So do not fear what is fate
do not turn away, step forward
Leave the baggage on judgment’s door
and bask in wisdom’s light
~ Camille
