Through and Through
maybe
the journey
for each
one of us
who is born
and lives
and dies
has something
to do
with a returning
of who you were
before
life had a say
in it
before
you got hurt
before
you put the armor on
before
you put the face on
before
you walked away
from innocence
the innocence
of a child
the one who lives
within
each one of us
we forget this
in the process
of building a life
we forget
but in twilight years
we reach out
to this forgotten child
inside
and we see
what we could not see
and we feel
what we could not feel
and we know
what we could not know
until
we crossed that clearing
and moved further along
the path
of understanding
true understanding
that tells us
in the quiet
at the close of day
there is a morning
after
in every ending …
there is a beginning …
a transition
that is circular
