“Breadcrumbs And your doubt can become Your ally, your fierce reminder Of every blackened backroad Every barren stream and Every long moment you stumbled through life in red shoes the size of thimbles Shoes that cut the arches Of your white feet and Told you to accept only breadcrumbs. Never to gulp the hungry air Or open the shutters in your chest To reveal your lionheart Your doubts used to be the tales You spoke into dark stars under The bright gaze of Venus No more, dear heart. No more.” Poems On LifeWomen S StoriesBreadcrumbsSaving Your Own Life Book:Evanescent Creature: Poems & Meditations Source: Evanescent Creature: Poems & Meditations
