Imagine a woman – no, it’s not me,
on the sidelines catching a glimpse
and holding the scene personally close
like a mother her very own son.

Does she dream or believe
her wishes unheard
for the scene no happiness brings
when a man surrenders his need
to benefit from release?

Imagine a woman head bent and still
in the shame of absentee courage
building up storms in other worlds
to cancel out her existence.

Does she turn away and suffer today
in the land of the now grief stricken
when signs and signals dispatched into air
are dismissed as an unwelcome breeze?

Imagine a woman, imagine me,
both invisible shadows at play
in the tunnel of gifted free will
unable to move and maneuver
the limiting scope of surrender
into the vastness of victory.

And maybe I dream my belief
there’s one worthy of such release!

Yes, let's imagine - that souls can touch and are worthy of release -

Enjoyed this -

Thank you, Susan, for the read. I guess a mind can imagine most anything.
