Himalayan Nuptials


Better to reach for something

and miss

than to hold back playing it safe

 

Destiny in the intention

and choice

hesitance falling from grace

 

Better to be adopted 

by truth in flight

than the orphan of a lie

 

Where words and music marry as one

on the highest mountain

­—you climb

 

(The New Room: January, 2024)
