ON THE HILLSIDES OF GRADUATION










Remember when
We did not know
how
we lived once
without having been an
Us

Before it was just
you
and me and
him and her
and them
and then

Ha!
Us
Together

In the sunlight
on the hillside
smiling
but it's steep!
and some of us are
hidden
just a little

yes, but by
tall summer growing
grass and some of
Us.

Can you find me
do you know me
do you trust me
to hold your hand
come this way
Why
I am not sure
But let us go

Together
Courageous
Always
Compassionate
Questioning
Why are we doing this?
Why now?
What is it good for?
Could we try it this way?
I have an idea.
Let us hear it.
We have not heard her speak
or him.
Let us listen.
Let us make space.
Let us open up
big minds
big hearts
to things that are strange
or hard
or confusing.

Explain that to me.

Wonder along.
Ask again.
Love.
