Wedding Day

To each her own..

Another amazing woman
ribbons and white dresses
charges across the threshold
taking a leap of faith
Shedding the past like a second skin
A chance to start all over
The torch burns out in the old world
and tomorrow looms ahead.

Another amazing woman
can’t write the lines down fast enough
spilling from her head
onto blank white canvas
the poet’s touch
the real deal
her words an incantation
creating immortality
bringing her ghosts to life

Another amazing woman
sets her nose to the grindstone
despite the blazing summer heat
the goal is within her reach
When morning hits the pavement
the gun goes off
and she’s flying
sailing across the finish line
with half an hour to spare

Another crazy woman
black humor, red eyed wanderlust
follows all the others
trying to find her way
if there is something out there
time to quit pushing it away
cause if the sun sinks on tomorrow
where’s the meaning
in today?

Another amazing woman
marches to her own drum
charging across the barriers
taking a leap of faith
Shedding the past like a second skin
A chance to start all over
The torch burns out in the old world
and a new one looms ahead…
