Sometimes, when your hands are tied with knots you can’t undo,
your only choice is to wait patiently.
Sometimes, you may be able to loosen those ties that bind
and make a choice.
Think through the difficult choices
and make the decision with certain serenity.

It began as a stroll
both hand in hand
until she said no,
taking a stand
He turned to her face
and yelled some rude words
She knew right away
the man was absurd
Confident now
about the division
she strutted away
and praised her decision

I heard but couldn’t see –
blurred
vacant
distorted eyes
a loss of vision
in living life
my flawed decision
a deception
a perception
distorted
I heard but couldn’t see –
Three times
the clock chimed,
“revise”
“revise”
“revise”
tick tock – mind blocked
tick tock – unlock
And then I saw –
eyes can shift
with temerity
into clarity
from the surreal
to reality
by making a change
