EASY

Even then,

Even at the dimming

With all the last farewells

Looping and limping

Sliding down to lazy scrawls,

Spidering finally, to the bottom line,

Even then,

Easy as old moccasins,

Easy as a lover only dreams away

from a warm womb waiting,

Even then

between an end and a beginning

I'll know

As I've always known

It's joy I'm rushing to,

Something I've known down here in flashes,

Fleet promises,

Warm as angel’s whisperings

wrapping me around.

It's moving on to that

that's worth the long hard haul,

Worth the weary waiting,

Worth it all.
