Earth & Water

the world has shown me

a little less than

half the time we are just

holding on for one more moment

the land has shown me

each season bares wonder

when one ends there is another

beginning again

on the heals of death, grief, and renewal

the water has revealed

its vastness

calm and raucous

full of whats within and without

taking what is yours

carrying it to the other side

I have shown myself

the way
