Long Ago and Far Away

I creep into the light Carefully and without clarity as to my final destination. Along the road I see the hearts Of those who were not swift Enough To avoid the jaws of Creatures who fed on them A wet rock sliding down The banks of the shore Into the crashing waves that Toss it up Into the clear air for moments Before descending back into the maelstrom How I yearn for that momentary clarity That hides between crashing waves of doubt and turmoil. The air opens my lungs to pure energy My heart flutters and caroms Within my chest As some unknowable ray Pierces the cloud of confusion And provides a moment of Peaceful Acceptance
