I see you
standing in the rain
waiting for me to arrive.
Yet as I smile
and take a step
towards what is familiar
I hesitate.
Is this truly what I want?
To spend the rest of my life
safe,
or do I want more?
Is this living?
My smile wains
my foot turns
and I walk away from what is known
into uncertainty.

I find the contrast between monsters and people compelling. So I write stories about it.
I love this Heidi! An amazing visual.
Sometimes what we don`t know is a better option over what we do know. Another great poem Heidi !
Thank you. 🙂
