Above the mountains
the geese turn into
the light again
Painting their
black silhouettes
on an open sky.
Sometimes everything
has to be
inscribed across
the heavens
so you can find
the one line
already written
inside you.
Sometimes it takes
a great sky
to find that
small, bright
and indescribable
wedge of freedom
in your own heart.
Sometimes with
the bones of the black
sticks left when the fire
has gone out
someone has written
something new
in the ashes of your life.
You are not leaving
you are arriving.

You remind me how much I love David Whyte!
I just read TEN on Huff Post. It’s a grand slam home run. Proud to know you, you’re an amazing writer and you helped inspire me to get off my a*& and try my hand at blogging. Hope to see you sometime soon! xx
Brooke! It’s such fun to hear from you, and I can’t wait to read your blog. Off to check it out now!
Love this, made me smile.
Just what I needed and how things have been feeling recently.
Thank-you
