Wait (day 19)

Wait!
Before you go
before
the wild horses
of your desire,
your steamroll
do-it-now-
make-it-happen
nature kicks in,
your
leap- before-look
move- ahead
fire- in- your
belly- hungry
starshine
beast-baby
hollers for
more
more
more
take a minute
take a breath
to ponder
the necessity
of all you think
you need to know
or have or do.
Walk your mental brink
to the empty ache
at the center
of things waiting
and may this gentle you
long enough
to fill you
differently.
Let the world
come to you.
In birdsong
eggshell skies
church bells
on winds
on bright waters
in meadows
where you
fall in love
with spring
grasses,
to rest
in this
awakening.
