Trans-cend

She enters the room,
the light flickers to life,
starts the water running…

Staring into the mirror
remembering moments just gone
when she allowed
inhibition to slip
and music fill the soul
moving rhythmically,
just part of the crowd

then, the slipping back into now

wash off the mask
of acceptance,
look into the mirror
seeing the shy remains
of dignity draining
into the swirl of water
disappearing down the sink…

turn off the water
turn out the lights
nothing left to feel here

~he exits~

Lina, Im more than proud of you...this is a secret place you are displaying here and that is a brave thing to do.

...im just going to put a plug in for your website....i think our friends here would understand this poem better that way.

Lina, this is a great poem..and the imagery terrific, I could hear the tap sqeaking on and the water running, and I can see it swirling down into the pipes...and the water? yes, it had much clarity.

Most Enjoyed, really very touching.
