On Being One's Own Master

Inexplicably alone
the Artist stands
with open hands
on the precipice 
of a new beginning:

the start of an And

not an Or or a But
or a Because...or a Tear

...or a Fear.

She sees her And
as a way to stand
on the solid air
that waits for her there

one
step
past

hopes and dreams seen

to hopes and dreams believed.

Alone.

Perhaps that's fair.

And rare.

To be happy together and apart.

This Artist 
is getting
Somewhere.
