Dig

dig up the earth beneath your feet

like so much empty space in your mind

realize the vastness of your dreams

and like the New Year begin cautiously again

capture your creativity in endless spirals

while your worries hold it all at bay

dig, dig, and find your place of sorrows

flush the tears from your eyes

and pardon them so they can focus forward

let the last efforts fall from your memory

because they didn’t take you where you need to go

and picture only the perfect destination

the perfect result you can envision

then take the first step, a brilliant step,

and promise yourself that you can fly
