I RETURN

I feel the beat of my heart in the womb of the earth. 
It pulsates,
extending a warm hand
-stretched across sky-
tracing, like braille, secret codes that remember
          truth
          grace
          a mirrored love.

There’s union in this:
          magma     body     sky
          volcanic     
                         bone   
                                      stars
A simplicity overlooked:
a perfect marriage of our birthright.

I return here.
Quiet while the birds sing.

I return here.
Connected to all that is
                      all that will be
                      all that was
          and
breathe in home.
