This path

will
be restored.
The current
pooled-up stiffness
will give
way
to flow.
The sun’s rays
will
caress
your face
again,
the shivers of
winter ebbing
away.
The leaves
of autumn
will
soften
your footsteps.
And the
dark
will come
again.

Yet you
will always
be there,
with you.
And today’s
darkness
and uncertainty
will shift and
transform
into knowing.
You will
pack it away,
having sipped
the deep wisdom
it brings.

And you will
change,
as your
one precious
life continues
to unfurl,
the fern frond
of your destiny
swaying to
the gentle
breeze of
time.
