it is in the reaching

it is in the reaching for stars at night
in the darkness that is heard as prayer
when at dawn those silver pointed gems
appear floating atop the river moving

to be emptied into a greater sea

it is in the shoots of stars listening
not unlike the shoots of newly born
greens from wild iris flowers earthing

to remind us that- no sincere prayer
would ever go unheard in the world
of natural breathing- of green blue
waters heaving- insincerity leaving

the scene of a life lived with simply caring
baring rainbow fish arched beyond all time,
and places remapped, mirrored to understand
one honest heart trembling at a single word

one hand atop another--
a sister or a brother
one song from a single bird
each one hearing it as from the other
