There’s a crease in my memories.
An obscure line
Of thoughts.
There’s a wrinkle along
The predictable
Plot.
I’ve accumulated crinkles
And crimps
And what not.
It is fine
As it is.
It is what
It need be.
All those furrows and folds
Are what makes me
Be me.

Provoking change
Need not mean
Torment or insult.
Better growth is
To be had:
Evoke hope.
Inspire trust.
Kindle progress.
Proffer light.

“I cannot stand the city,” they said,
Homesick for dark, wooded silence.
“It’s all clamor and racket.”
“It’s my refuge,” he smiled
At the trucks, people, sirens.
“The streets thrum the best lullaby…”

I’d rather be
As I am
Just in a world
Less fraught
With wrong
And sorrow.
And yet,
If in my druthers
Things were not
Exactly as they are
In both joy and dismay,
What would make me
Be exactly
As I am
Today?

It is in your grasp
To take hold
To absorb
Offered light
Life’s rewrite.
It’s within your soul
To recall
To be bold
In the hollowed out space
Of your mind
To breathe deep
To grow whole.

As you breathe in the early (too early, today)
Pinking dawn of a fresh
Brand new
Day
May it catch on the ledge of a dream
That had your soul
In its sway.

When life turns back onto itself
When flow seems stalled
Or slogs to mud
Hope still remains
A promise curled in gathered clouds
For though they hide the current sun
They still meander
Toward a future
Of fertile streams
To guard.

“And suddenly,” she said,
“Life is not simple anymore.
Or was it never
And I just did not seem
To know?”

May we never stop to wonder.
May we never lose a dream.
May the image in our spirit
Find its way into our realm.
May the fairies that can flutter
In our younger, fresher soul,
Move forth awe and harvest marvel
To grow us closer to our whole.

Even the mountains
Seeming well set in stone
Their uncompromising
Place so solidly headstrong
Can move
Themselves
Pebble by pebble
Rainstorm by rainstorm
To places one had
Never thought
A mountain
May join.
