But I Choose to Live There

May 5, 2022 by Russell Wardlow Leave a Comment

I found belief easiest
in the aftermath
of dearest hopes reap
but I as well,
found it most restorative
before my senses could grasp proof
that it would come to be
for what I knew
came to be
and what a thought
to know my thoughts
so powerful
and empowering
that what I will
has more than potential
to be
if I but only step
out on a ledge
