we knew all as equal
misunderstanding what would come
every heartbreak devastation
each joy beyond compare
until we learned to see more
closely to take a wider view —
miraculous forests underfoot
where stands of mosses soared
vast planes of river stones
safeguarding the secrets of ages
and astounding the kindness of
strangers sustaining us more reliably
than even our greatest passions
