There are endless shades of meaning…

There are endless shades of meaning…
Each of us seeing our own…
The shades have all sorts of implications…
That’s the how of it…
The why, I am still trying to figure out.

For me, it has little to do with fortune or luck….
I just see a different shade of red…
And when my paws brush the blooms…
A different aroma is sent to heaven.

Meaning for me, can be a stunning yellow…
Melting into a violet sunset…
Or a swarm of locusts…
Taking away the sky.

Often, meaning frightens me out of my naivety…
Others it makes me feel like a castaway on some distant shore…
Yet, if I listen, it always brings with it wisdom…
And I am thankful for wisdom no matter how it arrives.

This world has created for me a path to define meaning…
Yet, it is the un-path where I find it all…
When I step onto it…
I feel like I am jumping off the edge of the world…
Into the nowhere, do nothing, bright blue sky.

And guess what? It is full of meaning!

I love you,

Annie
