self-awareness poems

Cusp | Natalie Bentley

I am on the border
of something new,
an unfulfilled old promise
tucked away, moth-eaten,
now waving
hello again after a long
hibernation.

From
closed world
of darkness
I step ready
into the light
not liking
what I see of myself
I creep back in.

Hunted
from darkness
captain searching
upon the waves
ready to bring
his mammoth
catch
to the mind’s
shore.
