Working Together

 

We shape our self to fit this world

and by the world are shaped again.

 

The visible and the invisible 

working together in common cause,

 

to produce the miraculous.

 

I am thinking of the way the intangible air passed at speed round a shaped wing

 

easily holds our weight.

 

So may we, in this life trust

to those elements we have yet to see

 

or imagine, and look for the true

shape of our own self, by forming it well

 

to the great intangibles about us.
