Without a Doubt

A cine poem by Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer, made by Suzan Beraza.
Without a Doubt

Could be you feel
like a tiny bird.
Even the loveliest nests
become traps,
and so you fly.
You tell yourself
you know where you
are meant to go
and you map and you plan
and fly straight into the wind.
Could be no matter
how hard you flutter
you arrive nowhere,
and that flying
becomes a new kind of trap.
All that fluttering
exhausts you
until wings wearied,
will spent,
certainty lost
you turn away
from whatever it is
you thought
you must fly toward.
And then
perhaps
you understand
that wherever the wind
is going to go
it will go. Could be
you find yourself
saying yes to the wind.
Could be that it
is so beautiful,
this new kind of flying,
that you forget
to be frightened when you don’t know
what will happen next.
Could be you’ve never
been quite so aware
how sweet the invitation
to let yourself be carried,
how unbounded a story, the sky.

I got to see this years ago at Ah Haa, during Lit Fest.
Glad to see it's getting further out into the world, now
Even gladder to have a reason to watch it again. (And again, and again, and again, and...)

[@rosemerryt]

yes! I am amazed you remember! I was glad to find it again ...
