The journey

A poem

I’ve found the one Our Hero’s journey Just begun Such ache, this learning

To stare quietly, Without hurting, Into the mystery With depths uncertain

No history to guide us We’ve left the shore Of known. What tides us Now is more.

More wholeness More fullness No soulless Days of dullness

Can exist When we reach The other side of this, That beach

That sandy place Out beyond “rights” That dusty space Found inside our light

That real world Where what’s “wrong” Is just a pearl The start of a song

Of movement A gift, covered over. With the intent Of a lover

First one then The other Unwraps the gems That bring us together

It is our knowing That renders us able To keep going To keep stable

Our ship through This lonely quest, Our clear, focused view Of where we will rest.
