1112. Working Together - David Whyte



We shape our self

to fit this world


and by the world

are shaped again.


The visible

and the invisible


working together

in common cause,


to produce

the miraculous.


I am thinking of the way

the intangible air


traveled at speed

round a shaped wing


easily

holds our weight.


So may we, in this life

trust


to those elements 

we have yet to see


or imagine,

and look for the true


shape of our own self,

by forming it well


to the great 

intangibles about us.
