My Hero

My Hero

My hero is a creative force
that quietly pervades
patiently, every day

fills every plant with hope
every eye with wet

My hero smiles
regardless of doubt
distrust and decay
and simply brings back hope

every morning, every instant,
from a deep ancient place
that is only inches
or even less away

that is the entire history
of all time space
causation
right here, available

if you only step back
be that
and then emerge again
afresh
anew
as my hero...
