water landing.


o,
what strange creatures
we are --


emerging, creating, loving
scarring, healing, crying
yearning,


living



dying.




          under spacious skies
          above hallowed ground

                    we sing in rhythm with the rain

                    we breathe in rhythm with the earth



          under broken skies
          above fallow ground

                    we run with the cadence of our hearts
   
                    we weep with the cadence of the rivers
                   






will we ever learn
           
will we ever change



we're going in a circle
and we can't get up

get up
get up
get up.






even after birth
we still have
soft spots,

spaces that should never
be pressed

but are always aching.









                                    o lord,

                                    what strange creatures we are.
