Choices 
song of the ages 
Times slow,
times for searching;
born of hope carefully grown
protected like a tiny ember
of fires that then become a brand.
A search, of direction not known
oh, times slow
cradle, furnace, foundry
vague outlines, a crying within
times made for watching
and waiting&
times of impatience and pain
born of incertitude
of ambiguous trust
of having to strike a path
a path always personal and new.
Loneliness and despair
till trust fortifies
then a waiting
for no one knows what.
But I know&
a raring, a possession
that will outlast emptiness,
a life lived to the hilt,
instead of a life
lived by half.

(1997)
