Colored by experience


What is it that you see? Perhaps a wallflower, 
Standing alone at the edge of the dance, 
Trapped between action and inaction 
By a sense of powerlessness or fear 
Waiting for someone else 
To come along and set her free... 
Or could it be a mother, taking 
A much-deserved, long-needed nap, 
Hoping not to be discovered 
 Until she’s had her rest? 
Perception: always colored by experience...
