Now

It was occluded.
The shine hinted among,
The darkest corners.
Yet it was still…
Appalling.

It seems the glitter and glam.
Fazed my visions and overshadowed.

But now…

I am in a land of silence.
Of quiet breeze.
And alone.
In a space of my own.

My own splash of colour.
Bright and beautiful.
Strong and confident.
But with a grounded, stable stance.

Hush…

I kept still.
Hearing echoes of strength.
I can.
Breathe.
I can.
