You have known the choke hold of fear,
Tomb of depression,
Volcano of rage,
Maze of mind and feelings.
You have tasted, recoiled;
Touched, rejected;
Seen, disbelieved;
Heard, misunderstood;
Smelled, flinched.
Awaken, remember:
I am the Opener
Of pathways unknown to you!
Know Me!

A Quadrille in response to Victoria’s “open” prompt at
dVerse.
Mystical Strings 
Whew. Such powerful words, and so much hope in the end. Love this.
I have definitely experienced the choke hold of fear, the tomb of depression. So thankful to have found the One who heals all those hurts. I like your word choices in this Quadrille. When you only have 44 to work with, you have to choose wisely, and you have.
I think we do find that guide somewhere… maybe in a dream.. the opener is part of self i think
Beautifully haunting!!
There is something magical here – I love that the Opener is calling out to me.
This gripped me, made me want to rise up. Stirring stuff.
The task of a lifetime, for sure. We are not alone in it as you so aptly point our.
point OUT, not our!
Such a commanding feeling about this, sometimes just what we need to move ourselves forward…and onward.
Good stuff..works at many levels.
Powerful! Love the rhythm and tone!
