Wellspring

This world in which we’ve run,

silly and small and sad,

(recursive rounds of mindlessness

blinding us

in blaring of so many things

we never really cared about)

may be crumbling,

But it is also fading,

and the blaze of our love

is forging new connections —

networks for our light

to run along and multiply,

illumining the bedrock of our being,

the deep source

of our sweet, eternal spring.
