BEGINNING AND SUSTAINING

It sounds stark but time have I not

to think about conclusions 

while beginning and sustaining

If degree of comfort be the benchmark

then dreams my life is made of,

lived out to its fullest potential

Reticent am I and usually withholding

A brooding mute in animated quiet

when challenged by change

But flight takes wing, the need to hide

from inseparable siamese expression

barring divine or natural calamity

To be spontaneous is a gift 

To be outrageous is a testament

to that rare and perfect fit

And therein lies biding, confidence stirred, 

smouldering in jovian vortex

pining for silence to end
