Sometimes_v2

Sometimes a blade of grass is just that 
A sprightly, bright green blade of grass
Sometimes the turtle swimming across the pond is just going home
Sometimes birds soaring through the sky are just using the gifts they have been born with

Sometimes water is just a vessel
And rain just clouds releasing all the heavy that they’ve been holding
Sometimes dancing is just dancing
And 25 just another sampan ride around the sun
One more blip of life time to tumble through 

Sometimes poetry is a lifeline for someone clutching tear-stained pages
Sometimes improv needs no cameras to bear witness 
And stillness is the presence of something that doesn’t need to be filled
Sometimes I remember that

Sometimes land is the spot of earth generous enough to cradle us
And we
We just have to keep being here
With ourselves
With each other
In relationship
Here
