On that threshing hold, night between a day, Unwalled, unroomed, space among our way, Holy Janus, two faces, a squeezed lemonade, The dawn of our creation forms us in a shade Everything changes, we step within the path, What happens happens would shape us lath, Flows thru us, on us beyond shall never past, A bold new you, with us touching free at last It feels a little different, cold air of possibility, Just as a thin gown slides down us into a sea, Who you were, are, ever becoming in a song, Write yourself an open door nothings wrong Press me to an edge, cross over, side to a side I remember our future barefoot tiptoeing tide

On That Threshing Hold
On that threshing hold, night between a day, Unwalled, unroomed, space among our way, Holy Janus, two faces, a squeezed lemonade, The dawn of our creation forms us in a shade Everything changes, we step within the path, What happens happens would shape us lath, Flows thru us, on us beyond shall never past, A bold new you, with us touching free at last It feels a little different, cold air of possibility, Just as a thin gown slides down us into a sea, Who you were, are, ever becoming in a song, Write yourself an open door nothings wrong Press me to an edge, cross over, side to a side I remember our future barefoot tiptoeing tide
Sometimes I think my life futured me and in a past of possibility carries me across the wonder of in-between each day, every night, a movie, a book, a poem, an act of creation that kisses me in a storm and always, it seems, just there, just beyond a hope of reach, takes that step, just this once, over and again, through that threshold of unbelief.
