step

(i)

to believe in lesser gods
tricked and fooled again
the paths that are taken
of those that said - 'i see'

looking back now so easy
what seemed so very hard
but i can't turn back
yet look and wonder

will all paths
lead to a same place
or will i never see
such a place that might be

and will i see you again
crossing paths
or the very least
at that place
or
is there such a
place to see

resolved, go forward
discard the past
meet head long
into each moments uncertainty
knowing full well each decision
divides the future into smaller
smaller paths that become
as broad as the horizon i seek,
seek in a footprint

step

finding peace with in
i've reached that in my dreams
i dream
uneasy

(ii)

EGG
dreams of knowledge

Lick it.
Taste it.
Touch it.
Addicting.
The want for more,
The need for more.
Yet blackness surrounds.
Sense captivity.
Feel the unknown.
Grab it. Chew it.
Every bite
Realization.
There's room to grow;
But you
Can't go back.
Smell it.
Like it.
See it.
Hear it.
Good Bad - there's more -
So BIG
til you're
free of yourself
and become smaller
than a pin
lost in sea.

Devour all things.
anything.
somethings.
nothing.

And when you reach the shell
-that fragile edge-
Use your last breath
Crack it. Break it.
now
you are one
with
One
and you
can't go back
Be the Unknown

step

.

know everything

Cottage Sense
Anita Helle 1972

When the sky has violet edges
You know that winter has been very long

That behind the snow and cutting woods
There may be brands of fire

Or the bluehound
With one-jeweled eye may still have buried

Sleeping flanks between the hills.

And it is good then to mark the sentences
By pausing

To wrap your hair up in a cap
And be a woman who bends slowly with the

Bending light
Taking careful stitches in to mend

And memorizing
How the blue veins cross and plot this frozen tract.
