I wander without direction

Intention, the falling petals

of delicate blooms

wilting in the summer sun

 

too soon, too late

 

I could be discouraged

I could let finer details disrupt

I could deny truth that waits

in the deep in-between

 

too close, too far

 

I should shift direction

I should shuffle the cards

I should silently steal inspiration

from this stark situation

 

so now

 

I move with purpose

Intention, the fertile soil

of a creative soul

awakened by the summer sun
