Being held

I can see so much sky Like an open mind But I'm unable to float off into it Weighted by old, unnecessary shame Wedged in place by caring who cares None of it matters None of it matters None of it matters I forgot to click my heels I'm still here in this sadness

hooked by the title - a beautiful piece overall, haunted, filled with something just beyond grasp

Thank you Mat, I suppose my aim is to capture an exact moment and your comment helps me feel I went some way into achieving that. Thank you for your comment, it means a lot

Wizard of Oz touches really got my attention. It is time for a vacation but I wouldn't recommend a tornado to get there. I enjoyed this playful work.

Thank you Hilda, it's amazing how much sky there is to view when you lie back and look. I have a few events coming up and no tornadoes forecast. Thank you for your comment
