how two hands touch and the bonds will never be broken

Truly, we live with mysteries too marvelous 
     to be understood. 
 
How grass can be nourishing in the 
     mouths of the lambs. 
How rivers and stones are forever 
     in allegiance with gravity 
         while we ourselves dream of rising. 
How two hands touch and the bonds will 
     never be broken. 
How people come, from delight or the 
     scars of damage, 
to the comfort of a poem. 
 
Let me keep my distance, always, from those 
     who think they have the answers. 
 
Let me keep company always with those who say 
     “Look!” and laugh in astonishment, 
     and bow their heads.
