Taming the Beast

Fearing a dawn's next move,

will I dare, do I tread the path that lies beyond

my dreams, not lost, but there, in limbo;

not the same, but better,

floating high they are,

waiting, testing, wanting to be caught red-handed,

like a heart bursting, overflowing,

with new-found joy and love,

understanding, living, breathing.

firmly grasped, accepted, respected,

balanced peace,

taming the beast within

only to let it go free

to wander, roam and feel

soul, body, and heart

anew.
