Departure
Silent night, expectant -
silvered and glimmering
beneath the radiant
fullness of moon; A hushed song is
whispered sweetly:
the voice of sparkling
clear and icy creek...
Shadows, quiet:
a breath, a sigh,
awaiting footfall
upon pristine snow... Who goes there -
upon this land
treading softly
Into such purity?
It shan't be me
I have no right
to make the path
into this innocence... Hush, now, listen
to your heart's
designs for you,
Your life, your needs!
For your own
wisdom knows far
more than anything
I might offer. Silent night, dreaming
of scenes yet to be played
here in youth's panorama
I do not lead, but free you...
Where do you believe
this winding path
may take us?
There is only simple end. One's imagination sees
farther than the
eyes of the present
Watch, wait, fathom...
I cannot begin
for you something
out of reach fo both
of us, between our ages. So much to hope for:
endless is your time
no restraint binds you
to anything, to anyone!
Experience the tides
which existence pulls
into and from your sphere
Allow inundation of your senses... Everything passes on
to different horizons
journies unknown
'til one is called upon...
Gently embrace
the future, your life;
You are everything
you need to be!
