Days


There are days granted
when an unhurried still settles
the space where the world
binds to what is you
and folds the sense of difference
into a seamless whole.

Speech becomes the whisperings
of leaves, raindrops, 
forest murmurs in the tall trees.
Touch is in the tendrils 
of a vine, waving in air in search
of an anchoring branch
and sight, the composite 
of every living eye into 
an almost infinite view.

There is no boundary
to distinguish at what point 
being becomes something 
other than all until sadly
it falls asleep and once again
disintegrates into a dream 
and a separate you.
