Reaching in
through the storm.
Searching for
the main,
the source.
Deeper I go,
the more I’m forced
to admit
the center’s just
another skin.
Feel my way
along its
smooth surface.
Here and there,
there are
marks and scars
much like my own,
and eventually
I’m going to find
my way
deeper
in.
Penetrate.
Escape
into
this center of me.
I hoped I’d find
something to hold,
some rock
on which I would find purchase,
but it turns out
what’s within me
is a doorway
to elsewhere.
Is that spark in us,
something truly other?
Coming to grips
with the notion
that I am here
and somewhere else
at the same time.
I’ve been so wrong
about so much in my life,
I never thought that I’d
be so afraid to be right.
Here for a short time,
then we cast this world aside,
and head into the light
that resides,
not out there,
but inside.

Very introspective, makes one think. What is going on right now in the world is making us all take a look inside ourselves. Hope you are having a great weekend. Hugs and blessings, Joni
