Risa Breathes
Lowered head with hidden eyes
restless in her thin disguise
Unsure if looks from opossum play
were welcomed or just echoed fray
She faintly saw what others knew
gifts of grace, insight pursued
She cried, she laughed, then cried again
wondering where her wings might land
Rising hope through ashes made
from charred, crushed walls of desperate days
Hold on! Let go! Hold on, but go!
she climbed higher as strength arose
Looking up, then breathing in,
she exhaled peace, then breathed again
