Threshold

This threshold that yearns

Before me, in quiet

Gratitude or anger, calls

For the courage to

Step through.

To step through, step

Across, drop the ties

That keep me fearful

Move toward that which

Might kill or destroy me.

Wide ranging, sacred flame,

Putting a world on notice

That I enter, and I

Listen and I dance and

Become that what I learn.

This threshold, both sign I

Enter the world and

Invitation for the world

To enter me.
