Redemption

The time will come
when that which troubled you
pounds at the door of your heart
no more.

When the endless clouds of confusion
and competing choice
part...

and only clear,
uncluttered
clarity
remains.

When that which seemed so complex,
confounding,
complicated
and weighed-down with worry..

transforms,
as day-light breaks.

Miraculous metamorphosis

And the earth-bound, shadowed, heavy, static shape
that held you down
unfurls its folded wings...
reaches Heavenwards...
breathes deeply...

and then, with silent ease,
takes flight.
