Because I dared, I have tonight This is my flight into soft light Where flowers drenched with dew, delight, as canopy of sky turns heavenly blue. Because I dared, I have new twilight With hues of evening glow And serenity, as I converse with trinity. Because I dared,soft sanctuary I'll rely on With lavender, sage, and myrrh; when Rain song by candlelight I'll savor And ambiance of stillness beckons. Because I dared, I live life in verse With iris colors painting my summer Unlike any other; because I dared. Because I dared, I feel zephyr weights Not hater's hate Yes, I have cruised through troubled tides, Because I dared; Long before new moon, new insight, new flight Now I face the clearing... because I dared. *
