~I made a decision to stop doing something today and that decision,...was a good one.~

Wrapped In Orange, She'll Fly......

She's out there again,
in circles, walking,
wrapped orange, around her smile
hands scattering the hours
in fields turning winter,
hardening soil,
yet pourous enough to
swallow her release.

Occassionally, the breath
of her decision billows white,
through wool blend warmth,
into air, crisp with her scenery,
alive, it's brand new today,
and she's out there,
in circles, walking.

Seeing a way out of viciousness
surrounding, and smiling,
for the seasons have accepted
her stretching to explain,
what today's walk entails.

A visit with visions,
of afternoon tea parties,
free from the strangle of it,
and a facing to the reality
that will never slide,
but letting go of what controls,
more than she realizes,
will regain the life she hides,
from you, from herself,
and wrapped in orange,...
she'll fly.

Spitfire, if I read between the lines and dissect all of the words, and if it is what I think it is, then YES, you've made such a good decision...

and I applaud you!

I can't pretend to know exactly of what your decision was but in reading this many times I feel that I have a good idea and I say that to me it sounds as if you made a proper and very necessary decision.  Wonderful write and worthy of more reading on my part.

I see the use of Orange to symbolize freedom.
A soul freed from something, an inner evil of some sort. Nicely written
