Moving
Today we pack our life
Into a multiple of
Boxes and have them
Carried off by strong men
For we know we cannot
Lift them even though
We have been holding
Everything that they contain
Some parts we pass on
To those nearest
In an act that cannot
Be put into words
We have been changed
In this moment of exchange
That leads to the completion of a
New life
New home
New opportunities
Thoughts
Moving is such a gigantic effort, especially these days. Maybe it’s best to build your own place even if it takes one hundred years.
