just above my head
hovers a swarm of gnats
notes bouncing up and
down a music scale
unheard by these ears
further out from these
little songbirds flutter
through arms of trees
and maple seeds are
flung by the breeze
propelling through air
to find their retreat
higher yet the raptor
surveying as it sails
through the gray waves
of the mirrored ocean
and my arms reach out
to wish the rise above
or the fall from earth
into whatever exists
far beyond any of this
