On The Fence

 

Many times we leave

Before we’ve met,

Retreating to the monastery

In our minds

Crazy with questions,

Wonderings,

What ifs,

That incessant

Silent chatter

That keeps us sitting

On the fence,

Swinging the gate

Back and forth

Waiting for the

Quiet noise to end,

And when it does,

The moment’s gone

Time has passed us by.
