You thought you’d done it,
And pushed me off stage,
You thought you’d beaten me,
And locked this cage.

Singing your tempting call.
Your idea of a perfect duet,
Lured me straight in,
You waited for... Comment - Like

I Lie Still, Listening
I woke
and in the barely-there light of the new day
I felt it

warmed with hope
and tender encouragement
it spoke to me
of possibilities
and self-love
