Description A handful of grain tossed
By wind’s winnowing palm
Is who we are. Watch as
We arc to the air’s embrace –
A strange joy leaps with our
Hearts as we let ourselves fall
To the lilt of their song.

Even as the sadness of chaff
And seed steals past us to
Hold aloft the story of our
Scattering to see the world
There is a nugget of wonder
That spreads like an armful
Of sun.  Feel the world through
Each other’s fingertips; we’ll
Dance in our senses and know
The same sun shines over a bed
Of cloud every day; the trick
Is seeing it.
