my baggage

My baggage will be light,
to move easily and quickly.
I will have to leave behind all useless weight:
the doubts that paralyze me
and keep me stuck.
The fears that prevent me from
leaping into the void with you.
All that binds and reassures me.
I will have to leave behind
my image of myself,
My “ego” as the only lens,
my noisy speech.
And I will bring along
all that is light:
Many names and stories,
the memory of a thousand faces,
life on the horizon,
many projects for the journey.
Courage, if you give it to me,
love that heals and does not demand.
You as guide and teacher,
and a prayer that you may always to be present:
“To you, Lord, I lift up my soul, I put my trust in you,
do not abandon me. Teach me your ways,
look at my effort. Forgive my faults.
Enlighten my life, because my hope is in you.”
