..

In For All


In forests of gloom I want to despair
until resolve and trust guide my way
until discord and doubts disappear

In the pouring rain I want to dwell
until moods and spirit flow together
until comfort and ease wash away

In deafening silence I want to crouch
until senses and emotions begin to rear
until futility and fraud scurry off

I want to roam in dreary lands and hidden valleys
until morale and grace take me by the hand
until I am nourished from my closest fears

I want to recline in the fierce cold
until gumption and purpose condense
until stress and insecurity start to freeze

I want to be taken up by the gusting winds
until openness and respect take root
until every place feels like home.

I want to seek the unknown and let it seek me
I want to trial the unimaginable and let it trial me
I want to chase life and let it chase me

from every cove and every creek
to every pit and every peak
from every reach and every river
to every sea and every shiver

allow me to think that time is short
allow me to sail from port to port
allow me to embrace now ever more
allow me to say, I’m in for all.
