So many endings pass and
beginnings take their own
sweet and sour time.
Several moments, but none
really pivotal.
Other than death.
The real fait accompli.
Other losses drag on.
Grinding away like these
arthritic joints
irritating like dry crusty
skin patches, or fading
like the memories of
what life once held.
The passing of the years
takes it toll.
The before has to be faced
so now can take its place.
And when we sit in presence,
the voice says simply “Allow”
and “Trust”. All
pieces fit the puzzle.
The past slips away
into silence.
Surprising relief
to drink in.
Sit and listen
for the call inward
and forward.
Who knows what will
come into being from the
shadows of these days
or where the light will
ignite and shine brightly.
Just as dawn follows night
trust all will be revealed.
Live with the confusion
and contradictions of now.
Seek out the light
and open your heart.
Find your middle ground.
