My Mystery: Livin for the rushes

Today like before

I am struck dumb

and cease to know

the how of happy

Life as it rolls

keeping me in touch

with the little bit

that might have

been so very much

Still faltering

insecurity numbing the

impulse to act

courage smiles at me

as I turn away alone

in the richness of my mystery
