In case something happens
I wanted to write it all down
But at first I wanted to write it
Calm, quiet
Like something profound
Soft breaths and holding gently
Onto what I may have found
In letting go
In unlocking a door and simply not treading over there anymore
To let settle what will
In opening a window
In peeking out
Just beyond the sill
There was a grove touched by sunlight
Beckoning to me
Like the mirage that I only ever let it be
Shrouded it in darkness and made it scary
But the birdsong reaches me here and I step
Lightly on grass only just warmed from morning dew
And I can see the flowers
Swaying in bloom
I feel the earth between my toes and follow the path for once knowing where it goes and I laugh like a child in spring why was I so afraid of the very place I was built for, built for me
And I know winter comes like every season’s change but this sunlight has been there somewhere all along while I was in the water under clouds and it all may wilt here, in this eternal place because even forever bends to change, but to renew
To come again
And I will dance here for now, for an endless today
And let light in
