There is time!

by JLR

I stand gazing into broken fragments, visually uncertain as I strain, to make sense of what lies before me. The low-lying heavy mist cloaks the many trails I have traveled to witness this stewing and brewing tempest reminding me of my lonely heart. The mysterious outcroppings rock solid, steel gray, distant smugly seem like metaphors of my own making of storms. They appear as a statement. Each craggy, hollow self-creating, look of stoic resignation, enduring their manifest hardships, weathering all storms without complaining. As I gaze atop these ancient monoliths toward the slow unveiling of far mountains, I look to the right and see a single giant outcropping. As if it were a spiritual guide, a deep soul-feeling connection draws me to this solo obelisk. With a sudden knowing, I sense a personal dawning. There is time, To which I revel in this thought! Thank God, there is time!
