OVERCOMING THE DRAGONS OF LONELINESS AND FEAR
On Still Mountain the silence
And solitude surround me
Like cold star light,
While the dragons of
Loneliness, fear and uncertainty
Stalk me along the
Edges of the quiet night.
I do not know the future,
Though I can choose it
If I dare and if I’m wise
And if I listen to the
Counsel of the divine.
My own lack of clarity is
What brings the dragons—
The realization that
I do not really know
What is next and the
Urgent necessity of
Letting go of my own plans
And schemes as I feel the
Universe moving along
A different path than I
Expected is what
Brings out the dragons.
I release my complacent
Certainties, step out from
Behind the shields of all
I wanted or thought
I wanted so much, and
Take up the warrior’s stance
Of seeking and following the
Curves of each flowing moment.
Here in the present
Is where the future begins,
And in the present fully seen
And fully lived is where
I can see and hear the
Calling of my highest
Future, loud and clear.
Here on this high mountain
Peak is where I find my
Ground and then confront and send
All the dragons threatening
Me back to the darkness
From which they came.

MORNING MIST ON STILL MOUNTAIN
After the morning mist
Settles to earth,
Bright warm clear sun
Light comes gently,
Pushing away the
Damp and cold.
Last week, clouds settled
Around the peak of
Still Mountain—
Icy rain fell and
Winter reigned like
A nasty king.
Suddenly, this morning
Warmth and light
Surrounds me and the
Last stormy sadness
Passes away.
An orange butterfly
Rests with fluttering wings
On a warm branch
As the heat
Of our friendly sun
Dries the forest,
Sparkling against the
Jewel dewdrops of
The morning mist.
