In a time of ever changing stillness

It can be hard

to know what’s next

What’s the choice

that will lift me out

of this disorienting

passionlessness

What once was energetic

and driven

has become deflated

and lost

Lacking motivation

And the path

to move beyond

It’s like pushing something

up a hill

When it’s a hill

I don’t wish to climb

The mirror maze

has blackened

No reflection of any kind

If only to remember

that before any kind of birth

there’s darkness

and so much unseen

Before new life

sprouts from the Earth

And it’s in the not being able to see it

We fear it isn’t there

But steady is the course

of dreams

When we surrender

to their care
