wherever you are there is stardust

wherever you are there is breath
shared soft and silent
with your friends the photosynthesizers
your connection is inescapable
wherever you are there is water
rushing rivulets, branching deltas, oceans, clouds, rain
interstitial soaks and transpirations streams
running through your veins
wherever you are there are earth grains
pollinators plating up your favourite
minerals you like for breakfast
building your bones out of planet
wherever you are there is sunshine
all the energy you ever knew was the sun inside you
the fire that keeps you warm at night
lightning storms of neurons conjuring thought
let the tree breath speak through you
let the streams sing your dance
let the stars create with your hands
love with all your mammal heart
