now is what matters

don’t unwrap that old story
the dust has settled finally
so why stir up all those bedraggled
bygones and worn-out resentments

notice instead that new seed
of a dream taking hold
inkling by inkling
in the soft light of today’s dawn

and for goodness sake
don’t squint too hard trying
to make out all the details
and detours that may arise

along the unpredictable way
don’t let fear interfere
with the mystery of how
or why things take root

and flourish in their own good time
and at their own perfect pace
bending toward the light of inspiration
and gravitating toward the realm of the infinite

surrender instead to serendipity
as you allow what you don’t even know
you don’t know
to emerge and flower
