this is no small thing

another trip around the sun

another dance around the moon

seeking wisdom and growth

as I delve into my library of dreams

seeking the one with clear margins

and sharpened spindles

smitten with the promise of light

just a sliver penetrating inky nights

north of surrender

south of sublime

startled by shadows

skewed by endless days

and seconds defined by panic

this is no small thing

another trip around the sun

running roughshod over each hill and valley

my spirit nimble now

my heart no longer urging me to flee

another dance around the moon

with a freedom I’d forsaken

knowing it’s ok
