We choose the paths
we call our lives
within the deeper longing;
as sun and stars
create the night
and moon’s desire,
we are what lifts the sky,
descends to sea,
the gift to be apart
woven in a wider cloth;
we are not ocean
but we are water,
we are not sun
but we are light;
we grow, we live
then we leave
taking with us
food for the gods.
