I don’t eat cereal

my breakfasts are usually 

at 2pm 

and consist of lunch

I try not to hold my breath 

as I anticipate 

all the change to come

I have my heart 

and my family

Gaia holds me 

she helps me transmute

the weight of it all 

my roots have been 

getting deeper and deeper

I have discovered

the source

roots look scary

when they are pulled

out of the dirt

that doesn’t negate

their essential role

in our development

when you are in the dirt 

you can only see 

what is right in front of you 

you can feel the surrounding system

but it doesn’t need to concern you

until it does

I can feel all of my roots 

I thank them for 

the sustenance

that they provide

my next growth spurt 

has already happened

the roots tell me 

the truth

I can’t see their vision 

with my two eyes

but I can 

with my third

my blessings 

are on the way

on one condition

I keep listening 

may I always hear 

the whispers of my heart

beyond the shouting in the sky
