Sing Me In

How can you know
where you are, the place
on the planet where you stand?
It holds you small but if
you rise to feel the holding,
deep time will sing you in.

The plates shift,
the crust falls,
lake basins take shape,
the mountains climb.

Place, place, sing me in.
I need to feel the belonging
I’ve been granted a long path
a labyrinthine story.
Let me rise to see the spot
on Earth where now I find myself.

Do you want to know
how you fit, what part
you fulfill
for the grand Family?

The human role is tiny
though we made our sway so huge.
Place, place, sing us in
to our true part.
Let us rise to see the home
where we live together with the Earth.
