dead end

reaching the end

of a dead end

can be considered

the end of

everything

though

it can also be considered

the beginning of

now

edifice

living in an edifice of solitude

might sometimes be

essential

though beginning to open the heavy doors

and let others in

is with great subtlety transforming

an edifice of solitude into

an edifice of love

suspicion

beginning to trust

after a life in

suspicion

is not only an unfathomable experience

it is also indescribable

yet very real

fidelity

fidelity might not only be

not to follow our impulses

when drawn to greener pastures

fidelity might also be

the decision to return to the pain

as many times as necessary

for healing to occur

radical

a radical modification

in the unconscious habits

of the body

can be considered

a clear expression of change

while everything seems the same

on the surface

as a secret revelation

to the contemplating mind

a subtle light

in the dark

mist is hanging low

inside as well

as outside

as to remind

that rest is

required

apparent

an owl is calling through the dark

through the heaviness

weighing in the bones

for no apparent reason

somewhere

somehow

life goes on
