For Constance's free verse contest - life
transportation doesn't always take us anywhere
that 'getting away from it all'
yet you're there
at the end of the journey
a burden to yourself
like a bad penny
yet on occasion, I arrive
recently, there was a moment
in the woods
there was a storm on the way
but the dog needed a walk before it hit
I felt the need to linger with the energy
like getting soaked through
was innately craved
I sat as big slow rain drops fell
feeling an incredible connection
to the ground
then I left
worried I couldn't explain myself
if I just stood out in it
the moment before a crescendo
maybe that's what it was
perhaps I was surrounded
by an invisible coven of witches
or something of myself I'd left in the ether
wanting to get back in
who knows if we need the lightning strike
as our spark of being
I don't know what humanity is
it's too big a question
the knowledge of not knowing
feels the closest
I'll ever be
