Clearing - Martha Postlewaite

[Lawrence Robinson]

Clearing 

Do not try to save 
the whole world 
or do anything grandiose. 
Instead, create a clearing 
in the dense forest of your life 
and wait there 
patiently, 
until the song 
that is your life 
falls into your own cupped hands 
and you recognize and greet it. 
Only then will you know 
how to give yourself 
to this world 
so worthy of rescue.
