Olly Olly

The piece, Olly Olly, was inspired by my muse, Mary Hamer and her journey with the shadow "Unsafe."

Dear Unsafe,

There was a time when danger I knew.

We walked hand in hand. We were one, not two.

You helped me be scared, to hide when I needed.

But now I find, in me, You, deeply seated.

I'm grown now and shown now that I am capable.

I am not made of glass. Delicate. Breakable.

I am strong and flexible, no longer a waif.

I will go now, and prove now that I am safe.

So thank you for your service and the Love you have shown,

But you are no longer needed, now that I am grown.

Mary Hamer
