Amsterdam

There were canals and boats, houses and fairy lights along the water. Even the air had a different smell, a strange yet awesome feel. And here I sat in the midst of it all drawing my two worlds together Once, long ago - scared and silent feeling trapped feeling small ... Now, still scared - still feeling small but not so silent ... The voices of reason speaking louder Demanding to be heard! I sit in a strange city with all the trappings of success, slowly ceasing the need to question it This is real, This is my life, It is just as it is! I seek no trumpets nor loud acclamations... Simply the knowledge, the belief and the wisdom ... to gently walk with myself and my life through each of my days
