That great big puddle at the corner
obstacle to my crossing
obstacle to my crossing
Reminds me that
this stranded spring shower remnant
this stranded spring shower remnant
also seeks its purpose:
to return to earth and nurture life
That sludgy liquidpooled around the sewer grate
Reminds me that
this stagnant trickle was once
part of a million clear raindrops
this stagnant trickle was once
part of a million clear raindrops
falling urgently from the sky
during a summer storm
Those piles of leaves
rustling along urban concrete
eddied by autumn winds
Remind me that
they too seek to complete their cycle
they too seek to complete their cycle
beginning / ending in the sky and
ending / beginning in earth's crumbly dark womb
That slushy, icy snow
slippery winter nuisance to older bones
Reminds me that
we all have a place and purpose
If we can only find
how we fit
together
