sit in the gold

sit in the golden
sit in it all
and you’ll see
you’ve started to change
.
just as the leaves
just as the seasons
just as the earth.
.
you are the stuff of stardust and bird calls
.
your heartbeat the drum beat
your stomping
your running
careening
crashing
falling
rising.
.
proof that you’re alive.
.
that all the cosmos lined up
and brought you into existence
and you are here. now.
so what will you do?
who will you be? .
maybe you’ll notice
you’ve started to change
that your eyes are more open
and your heart is too
.
that the things that plagued you
you can hold and then plant and watch grow
.
ever changing.
ever dancing
like the leaves on the windiest day
swirling
twirling
resting.
.
