Stay


 

Here is where she would wait

Here is where she felt safe.

       This is where things make sense and light can come inside to replace the shadow that awaits.

Change - to transform or convert.

               Positive or negative this shift hurts her.

The body can shrink,  bones can shift, hair change color or texture.

       The brain moves to new positions and passion secures newer obsessions.

Heart takes on different priorities and tests how far it can push.

       Heart and head take control.

              But nerves and stomach feel .

              Wondering how far the feeling will go, she waits.

                     She tolerates and smiles .
