Here

There was risk

in taking this path,

in following

an inner guidance

system

only I could sense,

a risk of becoming

lost, I suppose.

But I had tried

other ways,

and they always

seemed to end up

back here,

in the empty space

left behind

after tossing

every last thought.

There was no explaining

here,

only the willingness

to follow

whatever tiny clue

came back

down.
