We Are Circles

After Kabir, Wherever You Are is The Entry Point

We are circles
breathing in, breathing out
half – full – half – full

There is inner connectivity,
infinitesimal touchpoint pathways
all around and just one
is all we ever need to feel the ground

where we touch the earth
is where we begin
healing
when we are every second
a dropping into gravity,
equanimity

the ground, she holds
us
Goddess Gaia
every quantum
of earth spinning
day into night
night into day
spinning every breath
cyclically moving in, moving out
day and night, day and night, and night and
day

each inch of earth my entry point
each bend of breath my entry point

living inside this circle
always full behind the crescent
behind the sliver
behind the demi, semi,
hemispheres of breath and movement
coming together in held, cupped rapture
as gift, as pause, as sacred offering from self
to Spirit and back again inside this same circle spiraling in and up

—

I am different now
living and dying over and again
the way we do
all our lives
as trees respirating
all day, all night
all of us spinning across this cosmos,
a covered revolution ’round the fabric of this
sun and all her fullness
skirting the weaves of spacetime
coming undone in the perfect explosion,
the wholeness of
one.
