This Day I Lay Down On The Earth
I stop and listen to her sing.
Instead of her listening to me,
To her I am listening.
For those moments in the light
We breathe each other's breath,
Hers from a trillion years ago
And mine with moments left.
A wind of great unspoken things
Blows gently through our hair
And takes us to a different space
Of neither here nor there.
No hand, no face, no age or race,
No fear, no loss or gain.
All that because the both of us
Are one and the very same.

I try to get out every day for a few minutes to soak up some sun. Even here in suburbia, I am struck with the sights, the smell and the sound of nature all around. Still seemingly thriving with lots of heavenly scented fresh air even though the environment is totally remanufactured by my planned subdivision. But even here, invasive plants from all of the world are thriving in our hot dry conditions and providing food for both human and wildlife.
It's a wonderful world to experience if we just stop multitasking, get out in it and relax.
