The Way

The way 

The clocks tick

The fire burns jumps red yellow 

Through the stove window

Molly cat sits watching the flames

The warmth of the silence

Then the soft voice unwavering --

Believe

Always

Let go of all doubt

This work is hard

The reward deep

The fire burns dances

The silence of a warm room

Of listening 

Waiting

Breathing the meaning

Into heart's blood,

Muscle's memory

Spirit's singing--

The moment living

The life unfurling

The mountains waiting to climb

The waters vast reach

To sail upon

This ocean 

These currents

Taking us 

To this way.
