These are the days of impending
Watching the unraveling and the uncaring
The hospicing commencing
The days of waking to our seperation
Imagined exceptionalism
The false stories of who we are
Reaching back, way back, for rootedness
Connecting to birds, the waves on the shore
Slowly unfreezing and being rewoven into it all
Returning to the richness of love
Encompassing nature, cosmos and each other
From bucket lists to responsibilities
Embracing sorrow and regret, together
Summoning who we truly are to come forward
Through the overwhelming ache of body and heart
Settling into feeling it all
The hurt, the love and grief, the immenseness
The sorrow and joy, the awe
Alive
