At the edge of being


Gray morning:
dew sparkles on the gazebo, and dances on the trees
whose dark stalwart reflections in the stillness of the pond
calm and soothe the anxious heart.
Somewhere nearby a cat is dying,
a car has broken down,
a child is mourning the end of summer.
Somewhere further away
a young man holding a gun
has lost sight of his humanity.
And still the grass glows green in the morning light
and cattails breath their softness
into the edge of being.

This speaks to me of allowing, rather than clinging or resisting. There is so much tenderness.
