Morning, Evening
By: Amardeep Kaur
This breath, my sip of hot cha in the morning,
as I gaze out of the window.
Removed from my mothership, yet still held, I feel connected.
This moment with self, but not. A moment of longing.
Love, lost, reflect. I resist, with friends
brightening the light of new openings.
Budding encounters full of stories.
I seek the small steps through colourful flowers and paths.
I am both here and there. My amritvela.
How is that possible?
Each breath, a new step,
I take So Dar with me.
It’s in my pocket, with a bundle of cards
inked with my favourite Japanese pen.
It’s in my hand. I didn’t think I could even read.
But then I reach the last card, I thirst for more.
I could keep walking through the forest.
Even as the sun fades in the distance, I can see,
the path is lit.
I want to keep walking.
