Just Think



by Catharine Otto
for R. S.H.
If only you would let me
Spread my wings I just might be able
To fly you to yourself—
Together—Us –Free
United against the reign of pain.

My loyalty cries out
To SERVE! Feels strangulated
Like a diver with the bends—
Coming up from falling waters
Too fast—
Or a soldier parachuting
Down the sky
To an empty Earth;
And the worst part is--
Like a seesaw in the wind--
In leaving you, I  don’t know who I’ve betrayed, hurt more:
You or me.
