A young colt runs free, heedless of any sense of direction.

Our life begins cautiously, eyes opening, limbs stretching, finding balance.  Awareness sets in, now grasping for purpose.  Sometimes losing our way.  At times it feels as if our lives are in shatters.  Depression.

And then somehow the story turns inside out.  Sweeping away the pieces, unspoken words slipping out, a toe testing the waters, affirming ourselves, eyes sparkling, an irrepressible smile.  Joy.

A stallion runs free, filled with a sense of direction.

IN A VACUUM

My mind’s eye shattered

A sense of awe leaves a trace

The terror submerged.
