You Should Know This

In defense of
whatever happens next
you should know
I cannot go long without
the company of
stars and solitude.
That is not the way
I recharge my batteries
because I was not born
with batteries.
It is the way I divine,
like some men witch water.
My body stirs at the
earth’s nobility,
and I remember myself.
Walking away is
walking toward.
I feel you should know this.

    I have said the same thing, just not so beautifully.

    Oh wow – I love this. Every night, I go outside to say goodnight to God…drawn to that quiet, those stars He spoke….walking toward, indeed.
