5 Prepositions

Across the sky nature paints a sunset water color in shades of oranges, pinks, and blues

Across the world my mom presses her hand to the wailing wall in the holy land of Jerusalem

Across the street the lamplight in the window creates a silhouette of my neighbor reading

Across the room my entire world is incarnated into two men, one in the image of the other

Beneath the starry nighttime sky I feel small and insignificant 

Beneath the shade of an expansive tree I breathe in the gift of oxygen

Beneath my clothes there is a body, imperfect and insecure

Outside looking in I see a woman who has it together 

Outside in nature

     at the beach 

     in the woods

     at the preserve 

          I feel at peace
