stars
snow sparkling
breathing
full of gratitude
lonely and directionless
afraid to let go I hold on to pain like a diver clinging to an urchin for dear life
realizing what I am doing, again and again, I let go
and am shown life is infinitely kinder than my fearful imagination believes
like the ocean rounding the rocks, this gentle wave motion of forgetting and remembering
is wearing away at the most jagged rocks of my heart
for now, I still worry if I will ever be truly content
for now, I wonder how to honor life while still suffering and confused
by the time it's all good, it will be too late for heroics,
and too late to enjoy the beauty of my journey into light
and it seems that if I can't enjoy now, I will never get to later
so it goes
