Along the Mind

In walking the darkness of the night, thoughts wander through a moonlit mind. Sitting on a rocky ledge I hear nothing.... the wind is gentle as I look out across the ridge and there is little movement in the shadows. Things seem smaller, yet I know much is around me.... The butterflies of earlier in the day have kissed each other goodnight, the iris's have folded their hands around sweetness and await the next light. I can feel the coolness of the rocks as I sit, thoughts running through my mind.

Reaching into the air.... attempting to bring it all closer... calling it silently.... teardrops puddle my face as I descend slowly into a dream which started as a wish. I realize now that as I questioned what faith is, it is nearer to me now than perhaps at any other time.... I wonder if dreams live with wishes and their neighbour is faith.... like how a heart lives with the soul. Like how past love's are never really forgotten and as the moon above knows it must give way to the sun. Looking up into the stars it is hard to imagine sometimes why things are as they are.... yet almost instantly, another fleeting moment arrives whispering inside saying "they are as they are".

The air smells of evergreen and the trees await the rains. The mountains have endured and will laugh as the clouds tickle them tomorrow. The stars are moving, prancing along the sky and providing direction. In all the quietness and stillness of the moment I sense and feel the time is about awaiting. When the new day arrives perhaps it will bring rainbows..... wrapped in something called faith.
