Years

Years

By

Lisa A.Williams

 World riddled

with  uncertainty

and endless

letting go

just as we begin

to taste and savor.

Roots-

steadfast spreading

through the dark soil

of our beginnings,

breathing in

life, then

watching as it vaporizes

into a faraway heaven which

sighs at the slightness

of our being.

Centuries of timeless songs

unearthed by

the aching which

fills the silence

                                                                  of a newborn dawn.
