Being

By Steven Searcy

He is still sitting with me--
the gentleman I saw
hunched over his walker,
slowly making his way
down the sidewalk in the park
early Friday morning,

and how he paused to make
the sign of the cross
to the empty tree-lined path
laid out before him.

Oh, my frantic, fractious heart
needs the patient peace each day
to pause, smile, and say:
   I can move!
      I can breathe!
         I can be!

Steven Searcy lives with his wife and three sons in Atlanta, Georgia, where he earns a living working as an engineer in fibre optic telecommunications. His poetry has been published in Ekstasis Magazine, Reformed Journal, Fathom Magazine, and The Clayjar Review.

Steven's other work on Foreshadow:
Morning Prayer (Poetry, August 2022)
Do What Cannot Be Left Undone (Poetry, September 2022)
