A Healing Dance of Our Common Things
for my friend Edwin Cordevilla and the Facebook Poetry Community
All of nature conspires to cause me to see
Every season each year every hour each day
The simple glory of how it is to be
And I see it now and this is how I pray
My offering of thanks in these patterned words
Imitating other animals and birds
One with them looking for my place in the sun
Facing east and lifting my soul to the sky
Embracing love wanting to share it though none
Can really describe it to nonetheless try
By means of symbolic signification
Of love and of its ramification by
Means of grace through time and space to bring your face
To a smile awhile by magic for a spell
Of all the spells I know my favorite one
Which I have practiced and enjoy doing well
And the lotus unfolds only asking me
Take a chance to see what the universe brings
And make a healing dance of our common things
Where we may speak what may not be spoken yet
What has to be spoken by someone somehow
Where we may remember before we forget
About the simple glory of being now
We may be bruised but we are not broken yet
Here where life is love and love is poetry
All of nurture inspires and rouses to see
What we have in common in the commonplace
Every season each year every hour each day
The simple glory of how it is to be
And I see it now and this is how I pray
Turning west returning my soul to the sky
None can describe it but nonetheless I try
