Poem for a troubled teenager.
*

Shake back the limits
to immediate expression.
*
Take courage and fire
all cylinders go.

*

Meld back the loads
that dreams would stick on you.
*
Conquer resistance
to forging you forward.
*
Shake out the cobwebs
and dust of those past
*
Attune to the moon
and wonder at stars
*
And then know your heart
can listen you onwards
*

to purpose and meaning
and blessings at last.
