Where Is Your Sting?

Bright, big, blue: the sky opens for me. Words like “realisation” and “epiphany” hold no meaning but consciousness, my psyche is born and I see beyond circumstance and fear.

The sky is still with me – sometimes it is even blue. I write haiku and this has taught me how to observe humanity and the physical environment. I look at things much more closely now. Yet, still the yearning for the four-year-old who saw further.
