Monday Poem: This Solid Moment

This Solid Moment

There is a hill where I can stand
to see the world spread out
almost capable of being held
in one open cupped hand.

That is the place for me
the place I must stand
in order to see and make sense
to untangle all these bonds

that tie me to this ground
and to the solidity of this time
which holds me within a moment
that I cannot escape, to fly

out into the sky that flows
far beyond any horizon
I can see from this valley.
There is a hill where I can stand.
