time is a puzzle
we are the peace
notice the pull of gravity
between a meadow and black sheep
adjacent light beams
refracting
in the sea of vulnerability
I see you
you see me
star gazing
earth rotating
what are we if minds not free
grounded in curiosity
bare feet in fields of green
talking theories of conspiracy
psychological kaleidoscopes are the antidote
to finger cuts
wine red, scarlet hue
bandaids stop the bleeding
super glue too
my toes are curled into the sands that make me
standing firm amongst my sun-kissed shores
I am not eroded by souls of salt
but colored in time
by the change of tides
I swim amongst
sunlight spattered crests of ocean
fill my mouth
as I’m carried by the cosmic
undercurrent that runs through all things
I am not the same
I cannot be contained
we are water
floating in space
that time creates
to take the shape
of a puzzle piece
falling asleep
as we dream of the discoveries
far beyond airplane window seats
