clearing the way
new moon held in cupped hands
like a wounded fledgling
feeling powerless
yet slowly warming
to this idea of finally flying free
trusting the process is not easy
for anything grounded
nevertheless you uncup
your trembling hands
observing the sky in a new light
november two thousand eighteen
