The form of the hare: a prayer

Let the linnet's song, the trill of the wren,

be the air that you breathe and the fire that inspires.

Lean back, sink in; become bark, become branch and leaf.

Squeeze between buttresses to mold between limbs

the shape that the form of a hare might take.

With prospecting roots, slide into hollow places.

Feel the soil's surge and the world turning -

like a whale spinning in the sea of starry space.

"... the fire that inspires..." Indeed. Beautifully written. Love how you take us through all the 4 elements, the intermingling, and how the experience of finding the form of a hare becomes a prayer xx
