(to create frequencies)
earth moves wavering uncertainty colour
undulates and shifts in opposition to all
we hold to be true the truest fact the stable
ground will outlast us touch these parts
ancient land feel the others knowing
who was here before visitors think it untouched
patterns nobody else has known the quiet
a kind nobody else has heard what could
this sound look like i am so much less
than a mountain but still we are of it
(love that rests as potentiality emerges)
once realised and fully seen these eyes
have looked like two idiots reaching out
in space across and beyond everything
insurmountable not sure why people reach
out to me perhaps I’m the one reaching first
arms outstretched in case this time coalescence
which must be let in even knowing it will fade
away like everything does so beautifully
how else to make sense of this and the world
in a beautiful way just hanging on for
final moment of dissolve into pure beauty
