I Am Of













I am of the hills
Where division of land and sea and sky remains unsettled,
Where curves define all boundaries,
And the kingdom of plants still reaches for pieces of the sky.

I am of the shore
Where air and water and stone combine in frothy tumult,
Where tides change all the rules,
And creatures must constantly decide to which dominion they belong.

I am of the sky  
Where star and cloud and rainbow tug upward on my soul, 
Where birds negotiate with gravity,  
And I am free to dream on the edges of infinity.

I am of the One,
In Whom I live and move and have my being,
Who is and was and is to come,
And fills my every moment and place with love and meaning.
