Once
There was innocence and fearlessness
Then
There was abandonment and denial
And anger and pain
Always there was courage
I walked the edge of the blade
If I fall...death
Arms out!
Careful, careful
Falling
Falling
Falling
Alice-like my fall was not empty sapce
As I fell I bumped into pain
Old hurts shattered me like crystal
Teardrops splintered from me
Fractured, broken, open
I did not fear the landing
I thought I would fall forever
My tears spread below
A lake of feathers
Cushioning impact with compassion
Softening
What had once been hard and brittle
