Calligraphy

The Universe starts with a line
Completes in a word
All that’s imagined can occur
Once it’s written

Writing the clipped curl of a cloud
The shrill cry of a hawk
Teaches where nature lives in you

You can describe your life
Any life
In lines and dots and curves
The Universe murmurs secrets
Confides its fears and dreams
Asks you write all you might bring
In your single voice that sings

Today you begin
Start with a dot
Proceed with a line
Each will birth more

And all will know each other
