While passing quiet morning moments, A breakfast feels abandoned on the bed, And bright window light illuminates drafts, Like dreams strewn 'cross a darkroom, and shadows Of negatives, overexposed in cold tones, Fluttering like flashes of thought  in my head. I sit hardly trapped as much as captivated By a life lead in dread of realizing potential Like a great actor afflicted by stage fright, If the proud eagle were afraid to take flight, And though power comes with such telling insight, I sit hardly trapped as much as captivated, Sighing in  surrender, paralyzed by my Light.

Potential
While passing quiet morning moments, A breakfast feels abandoned on the bed, And bright window light illuminates drafts, Like dreams strewn 'cross a darkroom, and shadows Of negatives, overexposed in cold tones, Fluttering like flashes of thought  in my head. I sit hardly trapped as much as captivated By a life lead in dread of realizing potential Like a great actor afflicted by stage fright, If the proud eagle were afraid to take flight, And though power comes with such telling insight, I sit hardly trapped as much as captivated, Sighing in  surrender, paralyzed by my Light.
