JOURNEY
Awakening this morning
to a world upside down
I continue my journey
Root ball wrapped for transport
all methods of earthly travel in doubt
relying on my own feet
I continue my journey
step by step
but my feet walk away from me
my surroundings liquid
wind blown
tossed
my horse swims upside down
dissolves into mist
I fall
continuing my journey
darkness overtakes
rumbling bison in the distance
I continue my journey
a light in the forest dark
I hold it with my eyes
it flickers
I remember it with my heart
I continue my journey
Beloved
when everything leaves me
I remember my intention
You are my journey
You are my destination
Candy....this so describes my flickering reality these days. Thank you for putting it into such eloquent words. The root ball wrapped for transport is comforting to me. I can only believe that what is essential is safe and that it will ultimately find, if not fertile, at least solid ground.
