gravity

by Shannnondoah

not sure 

where gravity

went or

how 

it’s gone

i’ve been praying

day and night

for that ole

gravity to turn

back on

and bring us

together, reunited 

as one

and i can 

almost

feel your hands,

your heart

your whole self

breath

upon breath

i’m choosing 

trust

Spirit’s gonna

get it all

going

you and me

hey i’m a believer

and i don’t

give up

love is the 

only truth

we have

this trust 

lives

in each other’s 

hearts

infinite love, beloved

roots

by St.Francis of Assisi 

Italy

Our hands imbibe like roots,

so i place them on what is beautiful in this world.

And I fold them in prayer, and they

draw from the heavens

light.
