It only took half
a lifetime to
learn that
I’m wise enough
to realize
I’m not nearly
wise enough.

So I lay down
my defenses
for these were
proverbial fences,
and fear was the
impenetrable lock
on the garden’s gate.

I am
present now
with nothing
left to lose,
nothing to prove,
my soul
stripped bare
by humility.

Future flow now.

Let me
ride your waves
for I’ve found
my bliss
and the garden is
like some warm,
sweet kiss
that floods
my empty
spaces
and leaves
me longing
for you,
only you...
or nothing
at all.
