Look — I want you to see this:
In this view it looks like
light gleaming through a glass brick.
In this view it looks like
a small cat, fearless, poised and purring.
In this view it looks like
you inner jewel —
serving as keystone
to complete the amulet
transporting us to our ancestral home.
Our feet have walked these hills
for thousands of years.
All the belonging to them
leaps up through our soles
at every step.
All the deep strength
from this land
reaffirms
the thing I wanted you to see.
