Picture

In the midst of the
"American Dream"
the weight of beauty
pulls you
into yourself;
naked feet, 
vanishing underneath
what’s lovely
and pure;
a valley of white lilies,
waiting,
inside what is tired,
And calloused,
inside your sickly self
moving.
But then,
you remind yourself 
to kneel before the flowers
and thank them
for the journey, 
and the hands,
and tears
that tied it all together;
and the miracle 
that not one was lost...
