Angels Ever Near...

So often I look to the light to shine down on me
to help to set me free--
the window of my world
shows such beauty
such adventure
and a passage
into the unknown
(yet also the KNOWN)--
I walk forward
hoping someone special
will walk along side of me
always knowing
that no matter where
I happen to be
the force of the UNIVERSE,
my spirit guides and angels
are hovering ever near...

Living FREE

Were I a cat
I think one of the most 
unhappy places to me
would be
on the inside looking out
to where I would want
to be free.


So much adventure waiting
yet--stuck inside
unable to be
the free, wild animal
I was born to be.


I used to be a cat.
In my other life--
always held captive
by the four walls
forever doomed
to looking out
and wishing
I could be set free--
and then finally
finally
I set myself loose
jumped ship,
abandoned
all that I have lived
and known for
so very long--
and here I am.


No longer a Cat
in a gilded cage
(of sorts)--
but just me
living with hope
and purpose
and joy and 
best of all,
living FREE
and then also best 
of all--
Being just ME.


Freedom
is a beautiful
GIFT
that I will 
forever treasure
and hold dear--
no more windows
that can't be opened,
no more closed doors--
just me living my life
being free--
free to love,
to give,
to take,
to make,
to smile,
to laugh,
to share,
to BE! 


(That's just ME).
