Circa 2005.

By candlelight and luminous moonlight
I can not see everything clearly
ahead of me
Yet…I have no problem
With finding my way
Feeling my way though darkness
Even if I must fall to my knees
and come face to face
With the soil and clay
Seeping into my fingernails
As I grip the Earth
Feeling the cool and damp dirt
come in between my fingers
Trying to catch myself
While I shiver from
the night air
and I shiver from
loneliness
Yes…but not fearing the darkness
Because I can look up
and see the stars
And the moon begins to come out from
hiding
Behind my clouds
that have blurred my path
I can not see everything clearly
ahead of me
Yet…I have no problem with
Moving on
Even when I can’t see what lies
In my path ahead
But I’m not afraid to walk
Into what I can not see
And maybe it’s the thrill
inside of me
I’ve walked away from security before
Walked away from the things
That I knew
I walked from them
As I can walk from you
And I can be okay…
With the questions of tomorrow
That live with me today
