The Roots of Knowing -

The roots are calling me to dig deeper as the

Dark sky reaches inward and pulls at threads of doubt and nothingness

The shadow is always there, searching for the most tender moments to strike

Beginning with me, there was the end of accepting answers that were untrue

Wonder was the blessing that led to the red road and carried me forth

Sometimes in spring I still feel as free as that girl who was not

Waiting at the gate named permission

Knowing all along that joy does not need to be granted access to exist

I feel like this is a perfect snapshot in time for you. Lovely. Very visual, like I can see you framed in these words.
