By Charles Sapp II
The growth that separates living flesh from the Earth’s grasp,
seeking the living light that nurtures with divinity
and where the secure roots are twined deeply into evolving sanctity.
Learned to walk on ancestral soil with patience,
mobility embedded into memory as an earthbound walker,
following the sound of its own voice
as it echoes off the man-made boundaries.
Trespassing the line between dreams and imagination as figments dissipate;
reality becomes defined and validated by achievement.
As soon as water was able to walk on land
the oceans have rejected us from returning.
Taking a deep breath, while leaping into the sky
and swimming the cosmic sea,
the tethered roots snap and the cyclic nature of life repeats.
Learned to fly through inherited skies with grace,
without looking backwards
the Sun illuminates the path towards the future—
as settlements of dreams are constellated
for shared memories of an evolving species
recognizing its potential and redefining its future.
