Pulling Me Onward

The woods never yawned at the end of my stories The streams never laughed when I stuttered in haste The mountains stood firm when I lost my last footing The sky understanding in joy or disgrace These natural things forever behold me Forgiving my weakness rewarding my nerve Their arms reaching out through each change of the season Pulling me onward — my voice undeterred (The New Room: March, 2025)
