Creating Space

Photo by Sebastian Gabriel

I cannot name the mystery that calls me back to myself,

Yet I recognize the sound of its voice.

I cannot hear the journey’s instructions that my guarded self craves,

Yet I accept the calling.

I cannot see the etchings left on the chamber walls of my heart,

Yet I investigate these clues.

I cannot understand the purpose of this returning,

Yet I create space to nurture this echoing mystery.
