makes
the
day
new.
Tiny
green
plants
emerge
from
earth.
Birds
are
singing
the
sky
into
place.
There
is
nowhere
else
I
want
to
be
but
here.
I
lean
into
the
rhythm
of
your
heart
to
see
where
it
will
take
us.
We
gallop
into
a
warm,
southern
wind.
I
link
my
legs
to
yours
and
we
ride
together,
Toward
the
ancient
encampment
of
our
relatives.
Where
have
you
been?
they
ask.
And
what
has
taken
you
so
long?
That
night
after
eating,
singing,
and
dancing
We
lay
together
under
the
stars.
We
know
ourselves
to
be
part
of
mystery.
It
is
unspeakable.
It
is
everlasting.
It
is
for
keeps.
