Many Pathways to the Sun

Across the water
I can see where I've been
Places visited
Sights seen
With eyes long forgotten.
I see pathways
Crissed & crossed
A younger self
Weaving stories
As I walk
The arc of growth & expansion
Rising to greet
A forgiving skyline.
Fire illuminates the bay
Sun dancing across its surface
In sparkling waves
And three bridges bind
This space in time
Guardians of memory,
Transformation.
Oh, to build a boat with this pen
Sails from this paper
Not to sail away
But to sail in.
Wind & water
Song & grace
A piece of
A part of
A dream of
Resonant mirror.
Sky above
Bird calls
Noticing
& listening -
There are many pathways to the sun.
