Maleficent


I'm walking

through the woods

talking  

to nothing

Alone, but not really

then the feeling

to turn around grips me

I turn and see

an older woman in the distance

darkness surrounds her

but never in an instance

did it swallow her

She turned I followed her

she stopped in a clearing

I stopped too

" Woman…. who are you?"

she turned around

and it was me!

but older and so much wiser

she looked so free

I could not fathom this

How could she have peace?

Where I had NONE!

She held her hand out to me

And calmed my storm

I weeped

Have I finally found my home?
