From Room to Room by Terry Savoie

 

Zayceva Tatiana

From Room to Room

​– after Marie Ponsot

  

Arriving in this world, light-

starved, we begin, blinded, 

groping our way, going about

the business of beginning: 

feeling, praying, yet

carefully side-

stepping pit-

falls that, perhaps, 

imperil our progress.  

We push onward.  

So we soon discover ourselves 

reaching out for whatever may be 

in our way into that next dark room 

& the room after that into 

an inevitable return to our

place beyond the stars.
