Word

What is the word,
  what is it today,
Can it be night,
  the darkness
Which only when
  encountered
Lets us know light.

Or is it play,
  how to open
Ourselves from
  the weight of
Seriousness in
  order to know
How to let go.

Or maybe it's
  day, the day
Hoped for where
  we meet again,
The day of longing
  forgotten because
It has come at last.

Or waiting, always
  nagging our feet
From the time we
   are born, to wait
For food, care, change
  and to know we are
Loved beyond all measure.

Or maybe its mystery,
  the unfolding of
Thoughts, or sitting
  in the dappled
Light of trying to
  understand yet
Never quite, yet beauty.
