INCANTATIONS

To Everything that Grows and has Wings:
It is time – Awaken!
The breath that shapes you,
moves you in mysterious and intangible ways,
is pushing forward.
The seed and seeking : pulling with the earth.
The voice inside you : fighting
darkness, and the light surrounding it.
The words,
gone all these long months,
are threatening to exist.
It is time – Become!
