Poem

Working Together

We shape our self

to fit this world

and by the world

are shaped again.

The visible 

and the invisible 

working together

in common cause,

to produce 

the miraculous.

I am thinking of the way,

the intangible air 

passed at speed

round a shaped wing

easily

holds our weight.

So may we, in this life 

trust

to those elements 

we have yet to see

or imagine,

and look for the true

shape of our own self 

by forming it well

to the great 

intangibles about us.
