Lost Cause

A moment past my patience waiting in the woods,

A kind of endeavor stirs in my feet, my fingers,

A curiosity to learn how I interact.

Where can I glide?

Where am I just noise?

Will my limbs pull me skyward in oaken arms?

Will my stone skip as smooth, fast, effortless, inevitable

As the wave that will consume it?
