POETRY

Unwindings

a free verse poem

scatter yourself about the land, one quiet dream upon dream

gather your unwindings — those celestial moments within that yield to your spirit, yield to your sense of adventure

scatter your cares about the land, one purposed moment of quiet, of observation, of mindful appreciation

for the legs of ants, that never tire for the wings of hummingbirds, that move like one endless breath, for the ripple of the water keeping the secrets of fish

gather your unwindings and plant them in the soil

they shall grow you into something new

Thank you for reading — I wish you joyous adventures in nature, the healer of hearts and the grower of all our tomorrows.

Together, we breathe.
