Cat Walk

by Marcia Moonstar

Out for a cat walk,
Like a she-wolf in heat,
Eyes wide, looking for new territory,
Shifting gears, changing my self talk,
I am not losing my soul
over someone else's shoulds and should nots,
I am ready to dig myself out of this black hole
discover hidden talents,
appreciate myself more,
do the confidence strut.
Keep my instincts fresh, alive,
Ready for some one-on-one vibrating,
Burning the sheets red with desire,
From dusk to dawn, feeling the heat, wild, free, untamed.
I have entered the guilt-free zone.

In the spring of 2002, she completed a CD of her poetry, "Moon Magic," blending new age and world music.
