Hope and Astonishment<\/p>\n
by<\/p>\n
Radiance Angelina Petro<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Devas in the trees investigate<\/p>\n
your movements with feathery thoughts,<\/p>\n
deciphering shadows and wind.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
They know all things tremble,<\/p>\n
and that you cannot flatter the soul.<\/p>\n
They know spring has no idea<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
how to be modest. What they want<\/p>\n
–and you can believe they want,<\/p>\n
is for you to tremble just enough<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
to fall into the hands of right now,<\/p>\n
and to then rise up with all the audacity<\/p>\n
and mischievousness of the morning.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Testify to the power of praise,<\/p>\n
and with the bell of your mouth,<\/p>\n
ring out songs of hope and astonishment.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The key to it all is that there are no locks,<\/p>\n
no lofty heights to attain. There is only joy<\/p>\n
and sorrow,\u00a0 and the spreading of wings into the sky.<\/p>\n
