DAWN TROW
Retreat and Return

A retreating soul escapes
into fantasy. Unexpected changes pounce;
    opposing forces risk a goal.

No advanced notice,
A troubled period in life hatches.
Success comes through confidence.
     
Being bound and restricted by regret.
       Stuck in a tangled rut.
Moods affect potential aspirations.
     
Dwelling on old memories.
Too afraid to leave,
It's now a question of why.

Everything in suspension.
Mistakes whisper bitterness,
urge unwrapping.
    
Barriers fall; truth lay bare.
     Satisfaction gained.
Courage planned.
   
Harmony
Recharges energies,
Readies for new births.

A romantic encounter around a corner hides.
Brightening your life, but what is seen?
Is it an attraction or is it a masked temptation?

A protecting nature issues
favor, juggles life with grit.
   Strengths to explore.

Seeking questions answers.
A soul too afraid to act,
Paused by vacillations.
     
Impulsive desires.
Undercurrents surface.
Celebration rises.

Time
to reap
reward
