Moon Ladder

What’s the bravest thing you’ve ever done when no one was watching?

Bravery was the soft hand that stayed by the water and did not let go.

A ladder of moonlight  
into the river.

Call its name. 
Be the bank. 
Do not be the storm.

Reach with a branch, 
with a rope, 
with your own trembling.

Let the water go 
one quiet cup at a time.

When the horse rises, 
leave it 
to the grass.

Down to the river to pray, Alison Krauss (O Brother, where art thou soundtrack)
