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.
