Unfurl

 

All around the wrapped 

and dappled curl,

a dazzling hum is rising.

 

With inner winds

that murmur green 

in fingers, 

fronds stir with the

arriving.

Stretched beyond themselves

they open,

whirring with exchange

on every side.

 

So audacious,

this molecular trust,

each action meeting reaction

open handed.

 

Do you wait

for permission?

It is already yours. 

 

You are also this 

momentum

spinning, in each element and photon, in

every flashing day and season,

reaching 

for all things

as one.

No life loosens out of sync

or alone. 

 

We are each of us

an opening,

a heady wind

arriving.

We are dazzling 

and audacious when

unfurled.
