How often i surrender
to that space that calls me home
to the falling   and the fallen 
suspended in the unknown

Love’s embrace  
this fall from grace
centuries of grief
yearning to turn over
a brand new leaf

I AM the earth   
and ALL that turns
creation   vibration   
of atoms energy and cells
The soil I till    
the leaves I burn
I AM the world 
in which i dwell

Born in darkness   
chained by starlight
linked   
by unnamed planets 
the Beloved 
who holds my hand 
from afar
strangers   
I take for granted  

I know not 
where the exit is
Who knows? 
when or if   I’ll re-turn   
(press enter)
I make my home 
in the branches of trees
blood-rivers 
at my soft center  

There is no beginning   
there is no end
I live within 
each blade of grass
I spin for you 
this moment   
my friend
I live each day 
as   my  very last
