Empowered

I've synthesized the universe

Into a sedentary brew

A distillation process

I always had, but never knew

Articulated language

Specific per scenario

Like tapping sap from a tree

Break the bark

And peer inside

And see the twinkling stardust

Of every tiny moment

And the true expansion

Of nature we sit beside.

In looking at the stars,

The firmament above

The clouds that shade the land

And the canopy of tree tops

That further shade the ground

Eases your humility

And sets a peaceful tone

Once realizing your size

Like a mountain to a stone

Emboldens you in showing you

The limits of your power

Now knowing that, you build on that

Discovering your tools

Sharpening your perception like a pencil

So you can draw the landscape

And shape it to your will

Coloring the countryside

To how you see fit.

I sit in silence, stunned

With awesome vigor in the night

And feel the electricity

Tingling throughout my finger tips

A part of the grass, the air,

the sunshine reflecting

off the moon,

And knowing how I'm small

I'm empowered by it all.
