Worldly I.V.

with empathy

welcome the globe

to rest across shoulders

grasp the core

bleed for others’ injuries

scar

for others to heal

pain sacrificed for wisdom

awakening nerves

a vivid reminder of life

reality

unimaginably heavy

vision

morphs 

liquefied matter

delve in the depths of love

below half full

the rest

given to those who see beneath

balancing breath

align the heart

veins root in the earth

water fuels knowledge
