Circles Of Reasons Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Circles of light dim my vision as tears press close to the
surface.

All the stress and strain of a lifetime seems to want to be
expressed right now - no waiting!

Crashing the gates to tear ducts, fighting off years of
pressure, put in place to protect from all the hurt and
sorrow.

Leaving renditions to violin heart strings, not wanting to
give in, but wanting to be held like a child and encouraged
to let it go at long last.

Hoping to see the beautiful gift of self without all the
misery of past masks.

Lighting the vaults which have been sealed shut tightly,
for so long.

Illuminating true reasons from the past which are no longer
valid.
