The Search
Is there a jar
deep in the pantry
that I can pull down
open
and scoop out big
heaping
spoonfuls
of courage?
Or a drawer
where I can delve beyond
sweaters
socks
and hidden things
to pull out
long, satin
folds of confidence?
Or maybe a book
high on a shelf
in a forgotten bookshop
where nestled within pages
dusty
and musty
is an idea
to salvage?
I'm thinking that, yes,
they're all there
the courage
the confidence
the idea
wavering, waiting,
fleeting, floating
within.
