THE QUESTION

Just for today

let's pretend

we don't have these bodies

skin, scars, bones - weathered fence 

that keeps it all in

Instead we would be

here

one heart beating

to the rhythm of everything, everywhere

mountain, tree, rock, wild wind

nothing 

in the way

Do you hear it? 

All of it is asking

and asking

the same ancient

question

What is that thing stamped into 

your bones-that thing that won't stop 

calling your name?

There is a reason

and it's all 

yours 

will you step 

toward

or away?
