Grappling With Divinity

Until the eternality of my being
separates from the dust
that binds me to this world
rejoining my creator
in the abyss
of all and all
my body returning
to ground
becoming the very earth
that once fed and fueled it
may I be here now
in this place
in this flesh
embodied
whole and broken
for God
for my fellows
here
now
until
then

~Robert Van Valkenburgh
