Commence

Maggie Devers

It’s a magical place

Where you can do anything

And leaving is never easy.

So go slowly now,

The trees whisper through the windows.

Gather those drawings etched with your name

As I taught you so long ago

To offer—a remembering of all to come.

You know this is your path,

Paved with the prints of others

In chalk, paint, sand and sweat

But the quest is yours alone,

And you will find your way.
