A Step Back

-------A Step Back-------

Lost in a moment,

it becomes the world to us.

A step back

puts it clear again;

into place 

with every other.

-------

The Fire that Splits

-------The Fire that Splits-------

Sorrow is not 

a wound to heal.

It calls on us, rather, to set it free.

Not to fear, 

but to feel

the fire that splits a hard-shelled seed.

Baby Steps

-------Baby Steps-------

Start small,

build your kingdom with baby steps;

plant seeds by hand

and visit life in every day.

It's to youth

we look

to not forget.

-------

Land Trust

-------Land Trust-------

Let us some land

and we will grow for you,

for your children

and for ours.

We are the young, co-makers

of near forgotten ways.

So peace and youth be kept,

there will be trees,

fruit like weeds to gather

and flowers everywhere.

Our best depends on each other.

Y'all and us, and every other;

to make real

that rightness we feel in our middle.

Let down your guardsmen;

your fences.

For you need not 

to worry;

we give our word to do good 

with what you've been given.

Let us your trust

and we will grow with you,

with your children

and with ours.
