Beyond the Net
Sometimes, as the sun sets,
And the sharp grass on your bare feet
Leaves its marks as you pass through,
You reach the goal net.
In that rigid inability to move past it,
Still seeing through,
Where the sun lies,
"The obstacle is the way."
You might think the goal net is the goal,
But behind it, something deeper lies—
Something brighter,
Something ever-present.
The beauty of the sunset—
You don't have to go anywhere to see it.
You don't need scissors to cut the net;
You don’t have to score, just be here.
Turn around; see it not as a barrier,
But as a frame, highlighting the beauty.
The net is no longer in the way—
It is the way.
I wish I could share the photo this was inspired by, but I don't think the website allows it. It makes much more sense seeing that photo.
