A Step Closer
The difference in here
and there, a step closer to infinity
swallowing the clover and wild onion.
Not knowing, you shift purpose to intent.
Following the sun,
the flower sips light all day,
pausing only when I walk between.
“A Step Closer” was published in Sleet Magazine in August 2018. I am grateful to editor Susan Solomon for taking this piece.
O at the Edges 
Simply superb Robert… and your finale stanza contains the essence of life’s journey….
“Following the sun,
the flower sips light all day,
pausing only when I walk between.”

Thank you, Ivor. Sometimes we provide shade. Sometimes we obstruct. 🙂
