Day 318: Left to Explore
∴
what is in me
left to explore?
i have put her away that is vast.
for expanses need filling
and she was too wide
and wanted too much of the world.
where do you keep
such a space,
but in space,
so i placed her amongst the stars.
at least now,
when i stand with my feet –
good soldiers and
firm on the ground –
untoppled again
and proud,
i can look up and remember
the wonder of how wide she was
and what possibility
she saw
in the wilderness of hearts.
i can look up
when i want to –
when i want to feel light –
and look down
when burdens of hope
become heavy.
