So you found it,
where your energy meets
the earth–and you’re waiting
for other people to find it too.
You’re an animal, you’re a spirit,
you’re the sea and the dirt
and the mangosteen and
the atrocities and the magnitudes
of love. If you can
remember that all of this
can be part of you and still
you decide letting it all go
in the big sea breeze you’ve placed
yourself beside day after day,
the earth’s seeds may start to
blossom inside you, and you will
reach for them and use them
when you need to.
