Tears had once fallen from inside <br />Every part of me- <br />A breeze rustles the barren branches on the trees <br />In the midwinter, here where <br />Fear, anger and mistrust have for so long been the enemy. <br />I can envision something magical about every bough upon every tree, while <br />The sound of the wind calms me. <br />I watch the branches upon the surrounding trees move about <br />As ballerinas dancing- <br />A symphony is playing inside of my mind- <br />Every thought transforming fear toward enchantment- <br />I also am dancing to the melody of the wind. <br />As snow begins to fall, <br />I can clearly see a pathway blazing before me now. <br />I am in union with nature as the deer running wild, <br />Trees scraping the sky and the uniqueness of every snowflake <br />Has obliterated the anguish and suddenly all that once tormented me <br />Has been lost behind me now as I keep stepping forward, into the <br />Glory of the wilderness- <br />My only care now is what the future holds- <br />As I leave the past behind me, buried beneath feet of snow- <br />This prospect has become a stage before me filled with hope where <br />The protagonist could be me, courageously fighting my fears, as <br />A symphony continues to play inside of my mind, music being nature’s bounty- <br />I have searched and found my safe haven here where <br />I have become a winner in the theatrical game of life. <br /> <br />Claudia Krizay<br /><br />Claudia Krizay<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/protagonist-4/
