Crystal Springs

when i find myself

in times of trouble

when my lungs

are so constricted

that a whirlwind

couldn't fill them

and my heart

is so heavy

that even Atlas

couldn't lift it

and my mind

is so scattered

that even Pooh

couldn't calm it

and my Spirit

is so burdened

that even Mother Mary

couldn't bear it

or come to me

with words of Wisdom

where can i go?

back to the River

that keeps on flowing

and to the Light

that keeps on glowing

and to the Wind

that keeps on blowing

through it all

through Us all

through the call

to be still

and to know

and to breathe

and somehow believe

that all the trouble

exists in a bubble

that is stifling

but not suffocating

that is confusing

but not crushing

that will burst

when i stop rushing

and pause to hear

the whirring Wings

of Wildest Things

and the Sacred songs

their simplicity sings

brushing up against

the flowing Waters

of Crystal Springs

and feel the Presence

best known in absence

wrapping my frozen

and fragile Being

in warmth and Wonder

emerging from under

the troubles and trials

Mysteriously manifesting

in strangers greeting

my sadness with smiles

and friends with hearts

that have no guile

urging me onward

through untraveled miles

on untaken roads

which truly make

all the difference

regardless of distance

through all the promises

i have to keep

reminding me

before i sleep

no matter how steep

that Pathway climbs

or how deep

the Valley descends

the crazy Love

that never ends

always goes deeper

and the Spirit

that always sends us

to places and faces

nascent and new

always sees us through

those times of trouble

and helps us

to let go

of our need

for answers

and frees us

to let It Be

to seek what's true

to shine our Light

to find our Self.
