One Way

From

here, onward.

Singing or silent: in beauty,

grace-full. (No boot-licking, hoop-

jumping; standing on shoulders, not crawling

on backs.) Step by step into black clouds (silver-

lined and electric,

alone-not-alone).

Listen for a still,

small voice, for

this way, written

on your heart.

    1. I’ll be honest–the arrow was the most time-consuming part. I am a pitiful artist, had to find the MS Word arrow to fit my words into it! I don’t know what possessed me to try in the first place…
