Strength

Strength



this day


Fresh loneliness


breaks the dawn,


dreams linger,


eyes hesitate,

steps pause,


as we lean toward the line


of this veiled assortment


of passion and silence,


and shadowed opportunities,


beyond shyness,


we plunge, courage warms,


trust your spot.





this moment


Breathing eases,


grip softens,


as we embrace this one


fleeting individual note


of delicate energy,


from a vastness of blur,


soaked with urgency,


cherished, containing the mystery
,

to be seized;


trust your time.





this life


No one is where we are,


as days pour on,

and we listen,


a time comes,


to begin, to chance, to stretch,


we greet, everything, everyone,


even the difficult, the strange, the impossible,


energy flexes, we find our nerve,


trust your shot, even when you don’t.
