Untitled - For Brent

A man

Deep set in a long silence,

At last has thoughts effervescing.

He faced the window

Squared his stance

And pushed it open

 

The breeze brought to him,

A tiny gift,

It sat quietly in the palm of his hand

 

He throws one leg over the sill,

Then the other,

Like a boy,

Chuckling as he sits,

Looking outward

At the world unfolding

 

The breeze brought to him,

A tiny gift,

It sat quietly in the palm of his hand.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

About a transformative event. The shedding of pain, of change, of self-pity. I love this poem becuase it can be read as He, She, or We.

It was written for a friend facing a divorce.
