beware


BEWARE…
The Lonely Person
Who intrudes into your life
And taints every moment of happiness
With an undercurrent of guilt…

Whose words paint a picture
That smudges your canvas
Of colour
With dark edges of black
And shadows that cast a pall….

Those words that have an undercurrent
Whose tow drags you deeper
Into the ocean of despair
And your spirit loses sight of the shore
And you are cast adrift…

Beware…
Of being held hostage
Of words that bind you deeper
The snare that imprisons the bird
Whose wings once are clipped
Can never fly again….

Beware…
Of sharing dreams and hope
With a life that is set in stone
Unchanging, unmoving, unbroken
But sits heavy on your heart
Which beats trapped in another realm
Not in your consciousness…

Fly free, untethered
Your soul cannot be captured
The mirror can hold only one reflection
Of the truth which governs your life
And yours alone….
