Metamorphosis
I’m leaving You.
The answer seems so clear today,
Like the Swan.
Blue. Beautiful.
A self evident truth.
In this ivory tower,
The dream has finally been put to rest.
Goodbye my passionate love.
Who could believe this would be the way?
Who would have dreamt?
So long ago
At Melbourne airport…<br>
Me walking along the runway.
So certain.
So confident.
So sure.
They were all there, weeping.
But I didn’t turn back to look at them at all.
Ah, the dreams of youth.
Funny how time can change everything.
Seven years later,
That famous biblical digit; evolution’s number.
Bringing with It; it’s companion Change: constant as chaos.
And through it all, the transition:
Girl becomes Woman.
Baptised in a sea of flame.
The things I’ve seen.
I dare not to breathe.
Oh! so much have I seen.
The pain has almost been too much to bear.
Almost.
Who was that girl?
That dreamer?
But today’s a new dawn.
A new mission statement is required.
Sing the company song? Not!
No. The new vision,
Requires a leap into the abyss.
A journey to the dark side of the moon.
An article of faith.
And it’s so funny. It’s taken me so long to get here,
Wherever here is.
And who knows where I’m going!
I’m scared. But my will is strong.
I feel at peace. Finally.
After seven years.
I’m leaving You.
