Take Heart

 

Merge with your doubt.

Drown in bewilderment.

Though non-existent,
past and future

are too heavy to bear.
But take heart.

The empty sky
fills every atom
of bone and flower,
stone in the path,
eye of ornamental owl

guarding the gates
of the abandoned sanatorium.

At home with loss,
you too are weightless,
a golden mountain

dancing in the void.

Ever moved
by the stillness

of your Mother's breath,

just fall into dancing and sing,
"I don't know!"
