Stepping Out

inside the mask
a faint whiff of grease
from this morning’s eggs

I find the outdoors
secure in its greatness
the sea still open
the sky limitless
the sky, the limit.

The challenge from Grace over at dverse is this:

“The challenge for today is to write zen poetry, with a focus on attaining moments of enlightment – or true clarity of mind — by emphasizing singular experiences.“
