Auguries

They rise 
like unseen constellations
aligning themselves in silence—
each one tied to a choice 
I have not yet made.

What comes for me
moves with intention.
What stays
does so because it is meant to root.
What leaves
makes space for a greater unfolding.

I feel myself opening to it—
slowly, bravely,
the way a soul unclenches
after years of holding its own weight.
