a suffering story, to make meaning telling truths
their thin line of connection to place, love, a path
protection in rising strength, survival in honesty
we affect each other, each, an other to many
when might my story serve you, or cause harm
where can I receive your survival, know its trace
the young ones, they are building their way now
are we with them, enough in the present, to hear
if a story is for me, it will find me
if my story is for you, you will ask, wait, listen
we will be placed together, moment, time, trust
a journey, an entering, a now always arriving
writing to be received while waiting on a listener
never to know, might distance remain
I will not chase sunrise sunset, it chases me
to meet myself in darkness, awakened to dream
morning is a moment, to lift, to love, to grieve
grateful, emerging, nourished for another day
for whatever I am invited to offer and receive
