If you look into the pond, you’ll see
The sky reflected,
The white clouds,
The world drenched in the beauty
Of clear water
On firm ground.
But if you’ll turn your head
From pond-life
And look around
And up
Onto the land and sky,
You will see the real world
In its worry,
In its glory,
So much bigger,
Spinning by.

Eyes drawn up
To the height
To wingtips
In mid flight.
Lids squint at
The unseen:
What gift will
This stork
Bring?

How much will it help
If we can
Get ourselves out of our own corners,
Out of righteous
Stiffened chins
For right or wrong?
Maybe round out those
Hardened edges
So we no longer must
Contrast
One side
With another,
Or need to confront
A person’s sigh
With slight or fault.
Can we
Perhaps
Find common ground
In what may be beyond
All argument:
If we rotate
Long enough
Around a circle
We will eventually
See
More than
Our current
Vantage point.
