Poem: Where We Belong
Souls forever searching
grounded in primary need
for true self and belonging
From that place of exiled
being alone in the great, dry, barren
desert of silence and solitude
The natural flow state of tension
engaging, disengaging;
self truth, authentic belonging
Our first Home, Creation,
the ecosystems of our Earth
and kinship with its’ creatures
Spinning within the Great Universe,
Cosmic Home in the Milky Way
in the starry darkness
Soulmates coming together
in communities of authenticity
and kin-dom of true selves
Sharing our liminal spaces
and watershed moments
and ordinary graces of our lives
Nurturing, nourishing, growing,
trusting our vulnerability
becoming whole as one
Around the fire
sharing our stories
along the journey
Giving and receiving love
little else is needed
as we walk each other Home
Where We Belong
