Poem for Change

Go into the next room and look
into the mirror hanging there.
What do you see? Snow
on the passes, a serene
and empty sky. . .
Your own face, reflecting
the ways of Time, or perhaps
the face of another, forgotten
or long familiar, beyond
knowing. Light
the candles, watch the flames
rise up and dance,
and when they die, see
the shapes the wax takes
as it cools.

We all want signs.
We read our dreams, look
for the meaning of leaves
falling, birds calling, shadows
turning in the light.
But you must sleep without questions.
In the morning you will set off,
letting the journey take you,
trusting the hand that guides you.
Your way is one among many,
you must follow its thread.
You will not become tangled or lost.
At the end you will find
what you came for - you will know
as soon as you see it: the face
looking out of your mirror,
calling you on
