Peeling away layers like
a bruised onion, releasing
tears, my soft inner
core exposed, tender, raw.
Held tightly within each
decaying layer, wounds, old
once hidden, laid bare,
now examined, identified, inspected.
Emotions, ripe, rotten, like
long dead carcasses picked
over by natures undertakers,
ivory bones stripped clean.
Enlightened, my heart beats
patiently, like swallows waiting
on a telegraph line,
to migrate, flying free.

Beautifully done - there is nothing better than the flight of transition.  There is hope in this.

Laying bare your soul and exposing all the hurt and raw emotions, can be a very difficult process. ~ but the catharsis can lighten our spirits, enabling us to fly high and free!

Thank you all for your kind words - just letting myself off the hook & letting some things go - feels good!
