if the sun can move
mandarin peels over linen skies
ocean tides turn
at the beckon of the moon
clouds can criss-cross
horizon-bound
tiny hummingbird flies solo
hundreds of miles
if winds can spiral
and earth can shift
you too will find your way

The way is always there, if we EVER listen to the wise inner voice that would lead the way. We become far too adept at drowning it out,.
I enjoyed this! Using ‘way’ to end your poem …. a nice touch.
I love the mandarin peels over linen skies. Beautiful!
