Angier, NC –
a heron swoops over the pond
accompanied by rain
following us from Frederick, MD
A chance for new experiences
and now, I am at peace
The truth is: I’m not quite sure
what to do with my life
but all the answers
are found within
under a canopy of trees
dripping droplets of water
I am reborn
remade
in the image of higher esteem
with a blanket of joy
wrapped around our throat
“I love you!” sing the sparrows
“I adore you!” shines the sun
All is accounted for
all is provided in abundance
Beat my flesh
into the boiling
earth
and observe me
eat my way
to the worms
dragonflies and bumblebees
on the back porch
with a camera lens
zeroing in
It’s an open season special
take your final aim
It’s a rally
in the bottom of the ninth
at the brink
and brought back
breaking pattern energy
lickety-split
embracing the totality
of explosive connection
because if God
is always watching
you might as well
put on a good show
and dance
