the gate is open . to the world outside, to leave . or to be let in
in every space . there are unseen obstacles . that are obvious
concerned with what’s next . we lose sight of the right now . and all that it holds
sometimes a disguise . is required while processing . a situation
without a warning . imagination decides . to see what it sees
in uncertain times . it’s still possible to find . a safe passage home
to belong somewhere . is to feel at home, even . temporarily
a snow-filled chaos . focuses thoughts and actions . mindful of each step
a tree does not wish . to be a utility . pole when it grows up
many surprises . can only be prevented . by our own actions
