My Eclipse
I sat inside my desert.
Then in a moment,
I sprang from despair.
To where the forest wept,
while the wild slept
I listened in awe and dismay.
How do I squelch my desert?
Embracing this desire to move on.
Will the sting of a wasp or
The bite from a fox
move me to where I belong?
Then, in the distance, I felt it.
The change of seasons,
blowing my way.
From Fall til Spring, I'll slumber.
Resting my need to wonder.
Soothing my soul
if just … for one more day.
