The Call

Is it possible that not every call
is a call to completion?

Is it possible to finish something
walking away,
a prism of light
streaming behind you,
with grief for all
you’ve left behind?

Sometimes you are called to the mountain
for the meeting that needed to happen
along the way.

The call is leading you.
Pay attention.
Follow it home, all the way through.
Until even the call
itself has been left behind.
