The Earth And You (by Joe DiMino)

You are joined at the hip;

at the very core of time

sits the seed

of your perpetual return--

So trust

the deepening night

to have its healing way--

slip quietly

from the hot canvas

of day

running off in a cooling trickle--

separated in sleep

we are reconstituted

to be awakened

a fresh pallet

of prime and color.
