The Reason is Unfolded The path is serpentine and furtive to unsure feet treading. I can see the breath of beginning down the slope across the tarn of newness nestled, it is like the tremble and flux of a smoky song, a nebulous thing, unsure of direction. Look back, down into the troth of a mother’s scream, look down the eyes of fear at how and say still how? How do I keep climbing life's frail and stony ridge with the moon so close now, its portence is holy and lingering and I will never see it again like this? I see fragility in the thinness of the skin that breaks and bleeds my effort. Oh, but when I sing the sky smiles and this heart of days is listening, listening still to answers that beauty defines and tomorrow is high, a ridge, so clever in its serendipity that I hear and finally understand that the answer is to question and the reason is unfolded from simple strive. < !signature--> In the dew of little things, the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.
