We call it home —
many other beings
call it home, too —
we find our place,
we make our peace,
we settle in
and start to know our neighbors
We make it home —
many other beings
make it home, too —
we make our place,
we find our peace,
we all are here
in concert with each other
We find it fine —
many other beings
find it fine, too —
we make our place,
we call our peace,
here in the verb
of work and living
the beaded strand of jeweled days.
