immerse all of you

little hummingbirds come, go.

our place in the stars

sometimes you long to

when you enter the forest

wrapping around beams

this year you have bloomed

from the evening robins’ beaks

view of this wonder

even the strongest

of this precious blue planet

versions you can be

in the corner you

will be erased by time’s tides

never in silence

unfold at sunrise

ev’ryone becomes silent

and eddies of life

a foggy morning

come to hold my hand, farewell

joyfully alive

teaching math all day

in one sedum, young to old

revealing true form

I found you — fallen

in fall you came, but no more

I awake in grace

there is a pulse here

to journey beneath the stars

propagating good

as a treehugger

to the heights that we desire

we have ever had

heart rate integrals

hints of orange and purple

reaching skyward — up

even planets, stars

settle down in the long light

on the azure sky

you take off and fly

cohesion yet separate

together a seed

on my forest runs

and dip myself in the clouds

in a cloud of sleep

seek out your zeros

the negative space becomes

I hear, I exist

the most shadowed trail

distance and angle of me

modest are the trees

there are days in which

and your fractal being – now

selfless river here

the mind of a child

of earth and aether — of self

absolute beauty

dim the light with fog

that mountain ahead; summit;

absolute beauty
