Sphagnum

Imagine

being able

to pull

water

from deep

below

to the

surface

where you live.

Imagine

being able

to hold

forty times

your weight

of that which

you most

require.

What if

it were love?

What if

you could hold

forty times

your weight

in love?

And what

if in that

holding

you

expanded,

buoyant,

and strong,

more

your

self.
