The landscape within

is vast, reaches

farther than any of us

can see from here.

​

There is a forest,

an ocean, a stone,

there are many stones smoothed

and darkened by rain,

and children—

there are many children,

​

their voices fill the air,

their voices fill the sky,

their voices wrap around us

like blankets, warm.

​

The landscape within

is vast

and full of trees.

The landscape within 

is vast

and full of children.
