By Brooke Wickline

A veil of mist blurs the view of landscapes I long to reach.
A sapphire stream passes by.
My feet brush against the soaked grass
As I inch toward the first stone that glistens in the morning dew.

I leap,
I sit,
& I wait.

Mindless daydreaming unravels itself as I
Yearn for the next stone, the next step.

I swing my arms to part the vapor,
But the sun breaks out to illuminate the cascading mist
& shields my view past my stone.

Instead, my eyes are guided to see the symphony
of delicate happenings surrounding me:

The thumping of my heartbeat,
The whisking foam basking at the bridge of river & earth,
& the wind dancing with blooming sprouts.

All else vanishes from view.
As I rest in your grace, it all falls into place.
