Behind

I've left behind a piece of my life tonight.

I think.

A feeling felt and held and cried over. Now found, and mourned

and

possibly

let go?

My life is not what I want it to be.

But this.

I want this.

To tilt my head back and laugh at the sky

like it is too big and too bright and it is perfect

but I am too.

Like the greatness of the thing

can no longer intimidate me.

The past behind, hope ahead.

Life ahead.

Love.

Smiles.

I want this.

"I have been young too

I have been Psyche, I have been Echo

I have been Eurydice

I have been Persephone, like you

I thought I was not a goddess..."

...

"But she was a goddess and a storyteller too. A soul in a new dress now."

~Psyche in a Dress

"Things are changing. You just must believe it, yes? You just must believe." 

~ Changelings {Blood Roses}

 

"I want to paint. I want to paint things that make people feel their pulse. Like drums. Like running. Like making love.

I will paint a Tarot deck-- my own."

~The Hanged Man
