cracks


there was a crack in the door and a crack in me.  something lifted as the bamboo reached towards the ceiling.  and all my days broke loose as if i had no containment, constrictions or certification to be here.  i held your hand empty of thinking or past reflection.  every direction pointed elsewhere as the bamboo turned to listen.  there is stepping and stonewalls,  there were no words, only a shadow of what was and a crack in the door.

the days timing sings
with feathers release secured
joy laughs at the mirror

      The crack is now wide open and the door has opened- I left the bamboo whine. But took my soul with me...bkm

    This crack I can see, and I love how you reflected on it inward

    A shadow of what was and a crack leading to what's new.

    So there we are. Do we open the door or close it? (or...)

    Each word well chosen...to talk about the crack in the door, and the crack in yourself.
