Layers deep
To promising light
From a ledge of darkness
Valleys and passes
Stand between
Despair and possibility
Layers deep
To promising light
From a ledge of darkness
Valleys and passes
Stand between
Despair and possibility
I remind myself
Just take a step
I remember
Where every journey begins
I find my courage
In the many paths already taken
I’ve held the light
before
I’ve made my way
before
I’ve found the path
before
I will hold the light
again
Though so reduced
In form I find
Her beauty
Undiminished
I don’t know why it’s there
Not that I really care
It’s warm
There’s sun
That little bit of string
Is just the perfect thing
Photographing
Instagramming
Facebooking
Snapchatting
Wordpressing
Tweeting
It happened
But I wasn’t there
Than when my mind is quiet
Connected to all things
At peace with myself
And the moment, just as it is
But I would stay here
Above the floor
Above the fray
In the unfettered sun
Where the mountain breeze
Clears the air, so pure
If not for the call
And the necessity
For the work
Though, really
I could do with a few more hours
Of non-being
All the ways I’ve learned
To make my way in life
Unconsciously, they become habit
Forgetting the current running through it all
I remind myself
Stand on the shore
Breathe in the quiet
Observe the current
