Awaiting


Looking under

the streetlamp

vision departs

 

While all that we’re 

missing

hides in the dark 

 

The familiar

accepted

our nature’s are such

 

That what’s in

our comfort zone

pleases us much

 

Distracting

from vistas

that broaden our view

 

Unknown

and still waiting

— to birth us anew

 

(Dreamsleep: May, 2024)
