This New Sense of Place

I wake into each day

knowing some belong

so naturally

without question 

their safe attachment 

as easy as breath

guides their way.

and others, 

i know,

have no place

where their feet settle

like old friends on a worn path

and belonging is a longing

that guides their way....

i wake into this knowledge

and can see it both ways

and know each

lends itself to it's own vision

and light

and darkness

and each 

has a song line 

unto itself.

so i listen with them

listen for the sense of belonging

that lives in both places

and together

we watch the veil

flutter to the ground

when we lift our hearts 

and rise to embrace

rise to embrace

this new sense of place
