Changing Worlds
By Sis Unsworth
She
could no longer bear the pain, the trauma deep within.
The
world she knew was changing, and she could never win.
Leaving
her familiar life, to venture out alone,
To
taste and feel the freedom. That she would call her own
The
grasp and touch reality, reluctantly moved on,
The
safe protected life she’d known, would be forever gone.
Unwillingly
did she cry out, as her past life they did sever,
the
sheltered world that she had known, alas was gone forever
Evicted
from her comfort zone, her destiny now unknown,
She
did then sense a feeling, she would not be there alone.
Saw
and heard such strange things, she’d never known before, Bewildered by a
special worth, she felt and yearned for more.
Now
she knew she must adapt, leave one world for another,
As
the midwife gently placed her, in the safe arms of her mother.

As always, a well balanced poem with no initial indication as to where it's heading we are on tenterhooks. Then with the very last line you pull the rabbit out of the hat! We now have 30 (Thirty) whimsical Sis Unsworth pieces, that's enough for a slim volume of verse... Well done Sis!
ReplyDeleteYes, had me bemused until the last line. Just one query, second to last line, did you mean adopt or should it read adapt?
ReplyDeletelooks fine to me! Thanks Pete...
