Heel To Toe

Mystical poem written 9-6-24.

1.
As the story reaches,
From my present,
To the beginning,
Justly seeking sense

I find Your traces,
In every important,
Tiny moment,
Of my aching life

Caught in Your trap,
Willful and wanton,
Walking hand in hand,
With the unknown

Patiently and freely,
Moving towards,
The light I see,
When I close my eyes

2.
Like a bat in flight,
I sing out my senses,
And listening close,
I hear the echo

That sighing resonance,
That chorus of voices,
From beyond the veil
Charming and disarming

As a mere aspirant,
As a reluctant child,
I heard You speak,
And I screamed

Wherever I turned,
My fractured fractions,
My interior order,
Spoke only of You

3.
Oh blessed Divine,
Terrifying Beloved,
My voices catches,
When I speak of You

The moments I share,
Within Your warmth,
In temporary tensions,
In bright becoming

In bewildering light,
And the spaces found,
Between the Here,
And the dazzling There

Reveal the path I must walk,
How I must take tiny,
Silent steps, heel to toe,
Creeping into the unknown
