Sure Dark Wings
Sure Dark Wings
pen and ink on wood altar
19.5 x 6 x 3 inches.
When , in the middle of the night,
you wake with the certainty you've
done it all wrong, when you wake up and see clearly all the places you've failed,
in that moment, when dreams will not return,
ths is the chance for your most gentle voice-
the one you reserve for those you love most-
to sat to you quitely, oh sweetheart,
this is not yet the end of the story.
Sleep will not come, but somehow,
in that wide-awake moment there is peace-
the kind that does not need
everything to be right before it arrives.
The kind that comes from not fighting
what is real. The peace that rises
in the dark on its sure dark wings
and flies true with no moon, no stars. - ROSEMERRY WAHTOLA TROMMER
