We Are of a Tribe

We plant seeds in the ground And dreams in the sky,

Hoping that, someday, the roots of one Will meet the upstretched limbs of the other.

It has not happened yet. We share the sky, all of us, the whole world:

Together, we are a tribe of eyes that look upward, Even as we stand on uncertain ground.

The earth beneath us moves, quiet and wild, Its boundaries shifting, its muscles wavering.

The dream of sky is indifferent to all this, Impervious to borders, fences, reservations.

The sky is our common home, the place we all live. The Commercial Review/Jack Ronald There we are in the world together.

The dream of sky requires no passport. Upon arrival Blue will not be fenced. Blue will not be a crime. Santa gives a friendly wave to kids as he arrives Saturday night in Pennville via firetruck.
