It May Look As If
It may look as if I’m moving
to live in a new house,
but really I’m moving so that
I can sit on a patch of earth
and put my hands in the dirt
and beg the spirits
for a return to innocence.
A place of healing Earth
for me to rest upon.
How I need Her grounding,
the support of rich soil
while yet I live in air.
I am moving to reroot,
for my final decade,
with grass and ancient trees.
I will craft a nest
the best I can and stretch
my writing wings in new ways.
I move
to gather peace,
and harvest my days.
