Exiting the Clouds

Exiting the Clouds Entering one's Now How long the traverse Mountainous obstacles Seem not of our creation Yet rock hard impasses appear Where clear path seemed obvious Now impassible The best laid plans... Swirl amidst the winds of challenge Icing our tenacity Whiting-out our vision Deafening our ears to resolve Made to stop We seek refuge Cower we must Time's weather independent Unaware love's thermal core Knows but limited challenge Suffering assumes the time We fearfully give it Granting indecision Until we satiate Sentience abides Patience its virtue The conscious Somehow realize a clearing Both path and atmosphere Reveal survival routes Ill weather lifts We often know not why A path reveals itself Accompanied by fixed ropes of trust Having exited the clouds We embrace our trailhead Willingly remove extra weight No longer needed upon our shoulders Stripping to our nakedness We ready the entering of one's Now
