Can’t see

Lori Owen 1969 (Portland Oregon)

                  Can’t see
Let go of the place that holds
Let go of the place that flinches
Let go of the place that controls
Let go of the place that fears
 Just let the ground support me……
Walk in the dark nights
Is a way to practice faith,
Away to build confidence
In the unknown……
I learn to practice courage in
The wastness of what I can’t see……..
