To remain
As a tree remains
Unreacting
Yet responsive
Supple in intuition
the subtlety of
How we interact
when all my work is done
And I can then
Turn my attention to you
Because as glorious a distraction you
Are.
Nothing shudders to a halt
Because I bear it with a smile
Stronger for the resistance
And my root seeks the fertile soil
finding purchase
Your bedrock shifts
And you feed
Sustain something rich
As summer night
Shelter beneath me
I have you:
Just
Breathe
