Maps are drawings,
sketches that show the way
around the corner,
out of the city,
over the prairies
to the mountains and
into the surprise of tomorrow
as each step and minute
passes under our feet.
“I learned what every dreaming child needs to know,
that no horizon is so far you cannot get above it or beyond it.”
~ Beryl Markham, author
(1902 ~ 1986)
Out on the balcony where
I could know the power of the storm,
smell the moist, soft rain,
feel cool air on my arms
hear thunder’s deep voice
as it wandered away
I felt safe with my book
revelling in flashes of lightning
seeing dripping trees hold their breath
hearing the slush of traffic
watching the tough, bulky clouds
as they followed the thunder.
“If I accept the sunshine and warmth, then
I must also accept the thunder and lightning.”
~ Khalil Gibran
Tomorrow is only hours away
minutes have not yet begun
to tick for the future that
slips into our dreams
bridging today
unto tomorrow.
“Stop longing. You poison today’s ease reaching always for tomorrow.”
~ Robin Hobb, Fool’s Errand
