Creation and Carbon

Well, this is overdue...my intention was to post regularly, but alas the swift movement of days has kept me occupied...so much I could write about...so much I have learned and felt since January, and I am still striving to maintain balance and peace...for now, I will offer up a piece that I wrote a couple of weeks ago...love to all, beauty to all...

I was born of creation and carbon...
of flesh and of soil...
for everything we live becomes part of us,
and we of it...
when we touch things,
our identity and its building blocks flake off onto each surface and facade...
our breath is breathed back in by those surrounding...
as much as I don't want to admit it,
my energy and surrounding world are my responsibility...
see hands rise from untilled sodden land and
reach for the things that have been made tangible by creation and carbon...
fingers searching for the switch to illuminate the shade...
