you can't do that again

why can't you do that again

once I arrived at knowing

comprehension enabled continuing

as a solitary stranger

amidst a world of words

I acknowledged basic beliefs

in family and home

yet as myself alone

I continued strong

I voiced a vision

of order and images

emerging

which mirrored

my dreams

the process

of growing

from my mind's knowing

intuitive sight

I gathered together

a volume of beliefs

with these as my anchor

I am not prey

to the movements

of time

I have established boundaries

with the sense of freedom

from minute perceptual poems

I have a foothold

amid change

I can register/record

knowing/dreams

learning confident release
