Mysteries, Yes

Truly, we live with mysteries too marvelous 
to be understood.

How grass can be nourishing 
 in the mouths of the lambs.
How rivers and stones are forever
 in alliegance with gravity
   while we ourselves dream of rising. 
How two hands touch and bonds will
 never be broken.
How people come, from the delight or the
 scars of damage,
to the comfort of a poem.

Let me keep my distance, always, from those
  who think they have the answers.

Let me keep company, always, with those who say 
   "Look!" and laugh in astonishment,
   and bow their heads.
