On the runway of life...

...when the wind
shakes me off balance
I want to steady myself
in the arms of a man
who won’t ask me to be
what he needs
but lets me exist as I am.

The free spirit of a lioness
a tempting seductress
the highly creative artist
with an unquenchable exuberance
for living life to the fullest.

Will reality and imagination
combine into a jigsaw puzzle
of unmatched pieces?
Or, will the vivid pictures
in his mind spur
the tranquility of this reality?

One thing’s for sure
this you will see
as I strut down life’s runway
I’ve got to be me!
