Poem: Not Knowing

Not Knowing 

 What if….

And I ponder all that could go wrong

and then see

that its fear

look at it

move with it

discover what way I can be with it

“What if it ends,

this beauty or joy?”

And it will!

receive that!

I drop in further

to the question and discovery

to the uncovering

Of the truth living

in the saltiness of the ocean

in the sway of the fields on a windy day

in the movement of my elder dog’s breath under her fur coat

And wonder

what steps will guide me next

Not knowing

can be part of the

best

journey

to knowing
