December 31*

Posted on December 31, 2010 by othermindpress

held here
         by the entire earth

surrounded by
         skittish, fragile beliefs
         unseen fantasy
         restless, sacred fear
         the exigent, teeming culture

we exist
         watching
         breathing
         floating

in our own exact way.
in grace.   with gratitude.
