Embracing an empty space,

that small hollow between

dreams and reality,

the path to success shines

and might not be so scary

after all



Because when silence

fills that void and rushes

in on angel wings,

tender voices whisper

simple answers — always there

after all



And when all the sharp edges

the cage of hesitation built

fall away slowly, steadily,

new open spaces emerge

to reveal anything is possible

after all
