Love

To trust in what I
do not understand

The way flowers follow
with imperceptible grace
the sequence of day,

to bend at nightfall
like wheat in the wind,

to let go
like seedpods
anticipating spring,

to be still
with the softness
of my body, breathing,

is to be, perhaps, 
like prayer

alive
and vital in the air.
