Joyful ideas of depth and meaning calling for compassion
challenged by ghosts, apparitions and goblins,
waving mirages in foggy glare or greying shadows
where do I step
what do I watch
what focus do I need to pass
creeping shadows
yawning faces that scream out
mournful moans that dig soul-deep
instinct and intuition fling my arms wide
to reach out to hand holds of family and friends
safe guides past gloom and doom
steadying steps while I peer curiously into shadows
shielding my eyes from foggy glare
guiding me over slippery rocks
into the fun-light of days full of depth, meaning and joy.
“Does the walker choose the path, or the path the walker?”
~ Garth Nix, Sabriel
