In the Ground of Things
My #5 for National Poetry Month
1.
i celebrate the you i find
in the ground of things,
in that space between earth and sky
where anything can happen.
2.
"love is present when we ask,"
you said to me.
i think it was spring.
the phone rang
and it was your voice.
i reached out my hand
and felt you across miles.
3.
rebirth is not the painless stuff
of stories wrought by poets.
it is the painful pushing
toward light.
only those who must, will.
