do not fear the fall
the earth extends its palms
cradles the cracks
welcomes the dust
in its silence
when the body shatters
learn to weave the wounds
listen to the wind
through quiet spaces
rising is the art of stillness
there is strength
in the falling rain
in the morning dew
teaching courage
in tender whispers
and the earth knows
how to hold you
how to embrace your fall
to grow roots
that will not break
