Love Cuts Ropes

Her day begins when light casts shadows on
The wall—forming charming characters of fantasy.
Once, her mind dreamed of whimsical sea,
Visions lost by way of waking decision.
She knew it was right before they had begun,
Love trumps all if the cards are played correctly.
She glides out of bed, wearing joy indiscreetly.
Today, she’ll find her love far beyond
The shallow pool of thought she’s dipping in.
Mirrors tell lies of who she used to be,
Suspiciously fearful of all she once knew—Then
Love cuts ropes, and like a bird set free,
She soars through unobstructed skies of passion,
Hoping this is not another dream.
