on the shore

In the moments in between moments,
when heaviness drags aside
the pendulum's wide measured swing,
we are given a choice.
When all seems still
in the heart-heavy dim,
to accept the silence
and trust that it will speak,
to rest in the pause
and believe 
that it will, and is already,
moving within, 
to reach out in the darkness
and hope that dark will give light,
to go in faith,
into the places
you have not yet been...
This is the opening
and the name of what
you must begin to call your life.
This is the lapping water
that surrounds all starting points
into the sea.
Step in.
