You get taken a little too much

by the world that wants and wants

and never stops.

Without waiting to see

what will come to you anyway

and only going after it all the time

trying to grab what is there.

Some still to start

until less and then

eventually nothing

because you were only grabbing

and not putting any back.

So learning I get to stay still

and listen for the world

to be something again.

And then really realizing when

it is yourself that must

make the world what it is.
