WITH GRATITUDE FOR MY PLACE

with gratitude for my place

this space I occupy


I understand nothing is over

nothing yet completed


what good to my store

I cherish...but not overly...


there is much left for which to atone

much left to forgive and of which to repent


but meanwhile I've taken to pardoning myself

and ceased to drive myself into a deep pit


by trying to struggle against the weight all that must yet

be amended...humility and peace replacing pride upended...


and when I get to that all discussion will be closed

and silence alone will reveal all to be disclosed
