April is National poetry month in the U.S. I’m writing a poem a day to celebrate this year. Happy April!
Content to Be Everything
lit from above
warming green leaves with dusted-red edges
unfurl new
learning of selves connected
I am leaf branch tree runner root seed forest perch food shelter paper pencil book board house home
earth-bound sometimes
floating free sometimes
wind-bent sometimes
rain-fed sometimes
at times felled
at times drowned
destroyed and reimagined often
yet content
as everything content
content to be everything
