you wanted me to bow down
to your gods
and all these other men
but I couldn't find my way
to the ground
but then there was fire
ribbons of light
swirling in the wind, the night.
my head dropped low,
I didn't even have to try.
Then there were birds
singing in my ear
something with wings that flies so high
also spends time far below.
I too, can bow much lower.
I can clasp my hands together and dive into the lake
to be where there is no breath
I come up, gasp in awe.
How miraculous,
this earth.
