another new england afternoon-
skies threaten of cold weather ahead
but indian summer seems to be strong--
for today.
Skimming through dusty pages
another pressed memory-
life seemed so different
but i was only a child--
for moments in time.
Searching for eternal acceptance
another struggle within myself-
relationships had choked my identity
but under the debris a cry was heard--
for a second chance.
Savoring a trip back to childhood places
another color fest of autumn leaves-
New England holds my heart
but i did find freedom once--far away--
if only for an instant...
