Far easier to say what it is not! It is not fear, nor apprehension bleak; Anxiety is likewise term unsought; Too negative those words all sound to speak. Pain fills the gap between what is and what Is wanted. I am open, free of need, Held unattached to any outcome but Still hopeful for the sprouting of the seed. If staring at the edge of the unknown Is standing on a cliff debating depth, Uncertainty of fate I hold alone As company to take that plunging step. I feel as though I'm screaming without breath, Embracing change as life, and stasis, death. -Elena Nola
