Claire Wilson (540)
Rooting down,
Desperate for stable ground.
The earth shakes
The fault lines of my heart open wide.
Lightning illuminates the night sky,
And I burn…
The storm rages,
It screams my name.
Searching for someone who no longer exists.
The wind howls in anger,
Or is it grief?
The waves collide
With this island’s shore.
From the devastation,
I rise…
Shedding the past
Like the snake shakes off its skin.
I arise as light, as breath, as me.
Finally, free to fly.
