Sometimes I feel myself swimming,
as structures dissolve around me -
all the things that people try to count on,
all the reasons people give for living
There still seems to be a grand march
of purpose - many marches -
stridently in conflict,
but my sense of what is real
sinks right through them -
I can't align myself to their directions
Sometimes I feel new life forming -
seeds amidst the liquid,
reaching out to web together,
understanding substance in a way
we haven't done before,
giving me a place to plant my hope.
