Ligaments bind our bones better than shoelaces bind our feet
Sometimes our lives are more firm and secure than we contemplate
When do we give the whole universe hugs with our spirit’s arms?
Whether we sleep or rise, let us rejoice that we live in realms
Autumns provide us joy-days when the sky is alive with sun
Nights can reveal a gray blush on the fullest and palest moon
Sometimes our lives are more firm and secure than we contemplate
Ligaments bind our bones better than shoelaces bind our feet
