a flow of ice, secrets along the river
Where does the full moon take you
When you are willing to dream beyond the horizon
And walk for miles in darkness on crystalline powders
Alone in silence without even the wind to whisper to
Where does the river take you
When you are willing to walk her frozen waters
Unknowing uncertain of all but blackness below
Trusting of a fragile and unseen layer of ice and snow supporting you
Where does the mountain take you
Playing with your quiet yearnings
Pulling the strings stretched taught
Against your heart against your reason
And creating such music as I have never heard before
evening light through aspen
Where will you go they wonder
And they can not see beyond this horizon
Can not see the tangle of ropes that have bound us
To your dream not mine
This dream of mine came true
Can’t you see?
I already made it have it live it
I have more imaginings
Many more
And now the mountain tells me
Go
And I go
And where she leads me
Is always more beautiful than where I was before
And yet she slows me down
Reminds me to look around
And shows me what I should already know
The most beautiful day
Is always today.
