At one with life
we watched ourselves unfold.
Seeds of thought
that grew a time between us.
Creating space in which
to watch our children grow
Floating on the sea
that is our soul.
Stirred into
a separation of life
We have become
lost hinterland voices,
A fracture from the whole.
Our poet eyes touched
by winds that carried us
like leaves,
Lost to our senses,
Joined forever
to changing seasons.
We are loosened
by each thought
Until we surrender
The last leaf’s breaking hold
Giving our ears back
to the sounding bark
Of beech trees calling,
falling into purpose
And the easy comfort
of our manufactured lives.
