TO HEAR THE FAVORED WINNOW
(for the June 2007 Water For Children Africa Team)
The decision
To identify with those who have
Shown themselves
A work in progress
At peace with our next steps
Inclined to embrace ourselves
As light through a tunnel.
We are magic lamps
Listening stems
That draw wisdom from the ground
And give meaning to its stones.
If you see more than just dirt
It is our restitution.
