That's just how it is, sometimes.....

 

SOMETIMES

by David Whyte

 

Sometimes

if you move carefully

through the forest

 

breathing

like the ones

in the old stories

 

who could cross

a shimmering bed of dry leaves

without a sound.

 

you come

to a place

whose only task

 

is to trouble you

with tiny

but frightening requests

 

conceived out of nowhere

but in this place

beginning to lead everywhere.

 

Request to stop what

you are doing right now,

and

 

to stop what you

are becoming

while you do it,

 

questions

that can make

or unmake

a life,

 

questions

that have patiently

waited for you,

 

questions

that have no right

to go away.
