new year splash * by Arthur T. Wilson<\/p>\n

new year<\/span> splash<\/span> 2012<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
up from constricting sand pits covering destiny<\/span><\/div>\n
up from frowning at past opportunities<\/span><\/div>\n
from wrong turn hunches into midnight<\/span><\/div>\n
up from meandering doubt huge as a herd of elephants<\/span><\/div>\n
up from swinging backwards through trees<\/span><\/div>\n
where broken branches & bitter cups of bitterness<\/span><\/div>\n
are not released into forgiveness<\/span><\/div>\n
up from the rot of stillness when one should have moved<\/span><\/div>\n
up from moving too radically when one<\/span><\/div>\n
should have been still to listen to trees<\/span><\/div>\n
up from ages past when i just wouldn’t be myself<\/span><\/div>\n
up from words planned as hiding places<\/span><\/div>\n
rather than recovery sources of healing<\/span><\/div>\n
up from the wilderness into the joy of love<\/span><\/div>\n
a love that never abandons who you are<\/span><\/div>\n
who you were<\/span><\/div>\n
who you are always becoming<\/span><\/div>\n
an embrace of grace into the middle of earthly<\/span><\/div>\n
conundrums kicked in the ass<\/span><\/div>\n
until nothing but love comes down<\/span><\/div>\n
like a cool spring rain unexpected in winter time<\/span><\/div>\n
oh just dance <\/span><\/div>\n
dance<\/span><\/div>\n
dance<\/span><\/div>\n
