Matrix Place

From first breath,
we have loved the living hive,
the shell encompassing our world,
the humming buzz beneath all things.

Wake up and you’re in it.
Go to sleep and you’re still
in the womb of her.
The matrix place
where something is grown
that can never be separate
from what creates it.

No separation, none, 
between humans and Nature.
All our lives, this
has sustained us.

After last breath,
we leave the honeyed shell,
the humming hive of life
which was all our senses could perceive.

In between the first 
and the last of human breath,
now comes a swarming,
a  vital seeking,
as we change our cradling place
into one that works
for every earthling.
