where is it we go
when the energy shifts
we see the tree stands strong
rooted deep and soaking sun and water
only to be transformed
metamorphosed to desktops
and old-time pencil shafts
it exists still
     further explored
     to the fire pit
     homes heated though combustion
     this smoke travels into the ether
     becoming yet another form
     dissipated and displaced
     but real nonetheless
when I slip into smoke
what will be left to circumnavigate the globe
particulates of Sam
jet streaming to infinity
like so many forest fires
our mingling energy
the very air you breath

……. the sustaining aspects –
