Shores of wonder

There are moments on the journey
when we lift our eyes and see
a sign:
but what does it mean?
Will everything be different
when I get there?
Is the landscape heading for change
even as I watch?
And what about
these high contrasts
through which I'll need to pass?

Patience, my friend --
it's just a moment's hesitation.
Relax,
and let your sails unfurl
and I will carry you
safely
to the unimaginable shores of wonder
that lie in wait
for you.
