The Way

ByRick Ellsmore

There is

A Way

One that offers

Joy, peace, and Love

It blows

In the growing 

Green Aspen leaves

Follows these same

Browning leaves

Floating through

The crisp air

As they

Miraculously feed

The ground below

This Way

Lightens the load

Allowing for

Fresh lungs

To expand

Taking in

Newness

Light-hearted laughter

Recognizing the opportunity

Found within pain

Ongoing struggle

This Way

Allowing space

For our

Infant souls

Born on a wheel

Rolling west

Towards the

Expanding skyline

Embracing the now

Knowing the Great Spirit

Offers the Way

Deliciously sucking

It fully in

    Stupifying The world We live within Full of  So much  Unending fear Seemingly reigning Taking possession Of so many It’s time Time to Take back The world Needing you Needing me Needing us Our feminine Our masculine Showing up In all  It’s glory Beauty blazing Freshly into The powdered snow Inviting back Remembering from Hence…
