Ask, Don’t Tell
Don’t tell the moon what to do.
Don’t tell the stars how to shine.
Don’t tell the night sky its color is wrong
And that you’ve thought of another way it should be.
Don’t tell the moon, stars, earth, your body
To be different, better, more convenient.
Lie down in the grass with them and
Wonder
Listen
Look.
Ask.
They will share their ways of beauty and aliveness
And they will free you to hear your own, too.
