of
course, we're in this world
where
things are falling apart
where
powers seek to fence us in
weed
us out, trap us, trip us up
but
that's not the only place
where
we live
broad
sky, deep, piercing infinite space
and deep
within, we transcend the complications
not
hiding nor denying
but
watching compassionate
from
the inside, reaching out and touching
and,
if truth be told, transforming
