One Day

I can hear you,

Even if sometimes it’s the subtlest whisper

I’m listening,

Even if sometimes I pretend not to be

Keep calling,

And one day I will open myself up 

To everything that I know nothing about,

Stop scratching the surface of the earth with my toes,

And drag my fingers across the deepest ocean’s sands

Perhaps I will breathe deeper there

Now

If I breathe in deeply

And pay attention to the depth

When I blend into the pause at the end

I find

That the world outside falls away

As if there were no such thing as

Today

The pause becomes the now

And the only

And suddenly 

I’m wide open

There is space

For miracles to present their winking eyes

For the stars of my mind to blink brighter than they ever could

In yesterday or tomorrow

The now holds the space

For the inspiration to flourish

Like the first almond blossom in spring

And the last snowflake to brush against the hardened earth in winter

It all happens in a single precious moment

The realisation

That everything I could ever want

Could ever need

Could ever be

Is here

And now

And in nowhere else
