Pulling in the Energy (November 2025)
By: Lois Vermilya
Albuquerque, New Mexico
stay
constant
like a star
galaxy lit
from within
just this
now
We gather energy
from the most distant star
into fingertips
to the soles of our feet.
The heavens
embrace earth
with a gentle kiss.
Softly yet firm.
No effort
yet total strength.
A paradox of force
and letting go.
Can this way of being
ignite my activism
of fierce hope?
