Tread Lightly

I nearly made it to the top of this mountain...I hope we can all make it that close to our own personal inner mountains.

Tread Lightly

 

Swirling in my heads a theme

Inside the living there’s a scheme

Patterns slap me in the face

Life is beauty and its grace

 

Words bend, flex, and color truth

Puzzling me since my own youth

Each has his own rendition

In accord with ambition

 

Claims to have life figured out

Man declares, “There can be no doubt”

At one time the world was flat

There goes their truth with a splat

 

Catching glimpses over time

A picture forms, it’s born in rhyme

Gently stoked words can ignite

Leading to some deep insight

 

As the word wick starts to glow

I glimpse some pieces of life’s show

Tantalizing clues come forth

Pointing to my own true north

 

Galaxies in DNA

Moved to see in a brand new way

Fractal patterns connect all life

Calling me to forego strife

 

I am you and you are me

We are no different than a tree

We’re particles in motion

Not the drop but the ocean

 

Living sparks within a rock

Connect to me and I take stock

Gossamer threads reflecting light

Adding to my new insight

 

Everywhere I step is me

Sentient beings meant to be free

We are all in life’s embrace

I see you, in my own face

 

Links between all life, laid bare

It teaches me to give my share

Connections shine so brightly

I know I must tread lightly
