Sun and Moon

And all things in the heavens

And all things that circle another

Like a stalker, like a groupie

Like the halo of a saint

Or the fire of the sinner

Like your mother or your father

Or your ancestors

Or your progeny

Or a brother or a sister

Whether in immediate family

Or the group called humanity

Like the senses of Man

Seeing the horrors of War

With the stench of carrion

Hearing a blood-curdling scream

Tasting powder and Death

Touching survival of the fittest

Like the wood

And creatures living life within

And the predators hiding in the shadows

And the snapping brush beneath it

Shielding insects below

Surviving deep within the Earth

Like the sweet taste of Wind

Drawing aromas of salt from the Sea

And chilling the homeless vagabond

Tearing tall oaks from their roots

Giving power to the powerless

Taking pain afar with a gust

And like myself

Existing from moment to moment

Feet planted on the ground

Mind and soul dancing in the clouds

Floating, elated

I stand with the universe related
