" Tenant la Racine du Ciel"~ Holding the Root of Heaven

~

Nous tenons le ciel

~~~~

~~

~

The spaces between us carry light

even inside of distance

we are joined

as we breathe one another

into the holy

~

I cannot contain you

your beauty is your own

~

I can only love you

and release you

as you journey

into mystery

and travel paths

that I do not know

~

I whisper and weave
fragments of kindness

and the opening flowers

that bloom with light 

into the soul that holds you

~

And the soul that you hold 

within yourself

~
There is a liquid fire
within your mind
but I hold the sky
within my hands
~
And with my hands
I will bring us back
to a holy root
of what is true
and beautiful
and strong
among us
