we share this

 

when the motion

slips into another space

explanations defy attempts to reconcile

part of the magic lives in everything

     that's ever been

     and ever is

like a wave

all of our days are part of something

more complex than we can see

so the part of you in me

and me in you goes on

some of the energy conserved in all

     that's ever drawn

     from breath lives on
