Sunlit forest clearing

Clearing

by Martha Postlethwaite

Do not try to save the whole world or do anything grandiose.

Instead, create a clearing in the dense forest
of your life and wait there patiently,

until the song that is your life falls into your own cupped hands and you recognize and greet it.
