Chaos & Connection

 

Inside

I’m opening up the circles of molecules--

letting the atoms fly out to become their destiny

 

trust comes later

after surrender 

 

how could you let go 

unless your heart knew there was something out there to catch you?

 

Spinning out into the stars--

at one with the mystery.

 

But I return for the heart that I left behind--

after a hazardous journey home

I find that all our hearts are there

where we left them

scattered over the sick earth

 

I dreamt of this as a child: 

tidal waves

falling down above the stairs

count dracula

 

but I daydreamt of this:

forced, because of circumstances,

to have all our hearts linked--

harmony and kindness

 

I still love it here--

I want bees to make honey

and parachuters to land

and oceans to wave

and frogs to croak

and hearts to rise

 

together

connected

together

connected

 

letting what it is

be 

what it is
