There Is No We
By Sara Metcalf Leach, High Desert Branch
There is no “we” — just thee and me.
My fire is fear,
My water is peace,
My earth is warm, and open to share.
My fear is calmed by truth.
My water is always near.
My earth is in a painting titled “Mother Earth Laid Bare.” *
Such, it is with me.
But no less do I love thee.
*(Museum in Tulsa)
