I Am Nearing Nearly Knowing

spiritual

Leave me here in exile,
in the soundlessness it speaks,
for my mind, on the mountain,
in the wind, out of earshot,
in the morning, until evening,
until everything retreats.
Leave me here to linger,
to my defenses wearing thin,
in the cold as the hands numb,
in the forest where there is none,
to a level right above you,
where contentment becomes you,
in the name of all,
in the sun and Fall,
in currents ever-mixing.
I am nearing nearly knowing,
when the tide comes,
where the course flows,
why the fields lay bare,
why I travel there.
I am sun-drenched, refreshed,
a sprout springing anew.
I am bird songs, invisibles,
fiddleheads, and nimblettes.
So leave me,
to linger, here in exile,
on the mountain, in the wind,
sun-drenched, refreshed,
in the morning, until evening,
until everything repeats.

I love this!!!!! I most especially adore the transition from "retreats" to "repeats" and the fact that you put this in the spiritual category. It is another that just seems soooooooooo very you and so all of everything!
And..... imagonnago absolutely mad trying to figure out "nimblettes". It seems terribly familiar for some reason - but I'm drawing a blank (no coffee tonight, maybe that explains it).
Terrific write! And... happy almost birthday, sis!

I always love your refences to nature. This a wonderful piece on coming into your own.
If I had to gues at nimblettes, I wouls say the clue is in your title. Does it mean the beginings of understanding? like the young or early growth of a to be agile mind?
Very cool write! |
