Ephemeral World

In the ephemeral world of constant change
Despite the insecurities
Despite the uncertainty
Despite the knowing and unknowing
Despite the movement of one against each other
Despite the difficulties of change
Despite the fear of longing
Despite the dread of giving and taking away
Despite the pangs of letting go
Despite the agony of uncontrolled tears
Despite the change of seconds, minutes, hours, months and years
Despite the crying for myself and the earth that bore me
Despite the fear of losing a fantasy of fantastic tales woven that could be
Despite the stillness
Despite the change
Despite the possibilities
I stand in this ephemeral world

I stand
Tilting
Rocking
Lilting
I begin and end
Begin again and then begin again
Changing, raising, moving, stopping
Despite knowing that the world’s answers are not mine
I’ll walk despite each step anew
I'll walk despite the newness in each moment
I'll walk to meet myself
I'll walk the cycle of life. Birth. Death.
I’ll walk, placing my steps tenderly on the earth
I’ll walk finding my answers ephemeral
I’ll walk re-posing my questions ephemeral
I’ll walk to begin and end, raise and fall and rise again
I'll walk the joy, the calm, the knowing, the un-knowing
I'll walk the making
I’ll walk the ephemeral journey
Of meeting
I me myself you thy and then

I’ll walk with the certainty of one reality
Of ephemeral time, moments, space
People, place, acts, stillness
Through nothingness and then everything
I'll be the ephemeral
