I
have stood
at thresholds,
afraid…
Afraid to step
into the unknown, crossing over,
exploring with abandon
this call to life…
And then,
life took my hand
and led me forward
and stepping in
became stepping out,
and after all my long journeys
I find myself where I began…
Yet all is new,
for this rose,
this
brilliant rose,
is aflame
in the palm of my hand...
