At this time of life
depth seems a most important thing —
the balance weights that extend
below the illusion we call the ground,
the ones that give us
dynamic presence
so we can’t be tumbled
from our own truth.
Though many forces
may push us flat against the ground,
we are not phased
for we rebound,
immediately realign
with what we are,
embody a circumference
that’s wider far
than what we had before believed.
We need this depth
to move with purpose
through the social daze,
We need this size
to overcome the myth of death.
