Earth

Get me by the big tree, you know. By the creek -
just left of the big rock and the hole
where all the water disappears
into the ground
into a cave
into the earth
into the ocean...

Lets realize this is all one spot.
We don't have to go anywhere else -

So many of us look up,
wondering if that beautiful person,
whoever they are,
is watching the same stars.

But me?
I know that wherever I am,
we stand firm upon the same soil,
from which everything has grown.
