When no one notices
not even our own awareness
our branches
persist toward the sun
A rope swing dangles
Ready to hold Love,
to listen to Love,
to feel the embrace of Love,
to give Love a push
and to pull Love back
when it has wandered too far
The wind blows us left
the rain torrents right
Through our boughs
our leaves
letting go
down one
down all
It is astounding, despite circumstances, how strong humans can be.
