In the Light of Another

-------In the Light of Another-------

Like sunshine

to a

seed

Attention liberates

the seer

from their shell,

Slowly

breaking

open

In the

light

of another.

-------

Back to the Land

-------Back to the Land-------

Do not despair, Little Seed,

as the chains of sufferation
tighten.

Get free.

There is Land

beyond
these walls,

Patiently
awaiting

your return.

-------

Green Again

-------Green Again-------

Centuries of apology

cannot
relieve
the theft,

That imperial hands
still commit
upon bodies and

the land.

Trust and treaties are broken,

uprooted,

and the dark,

beautiful ground left bare.

This conquest
needs us
to
forget.

But truth is planted like seeds
within our chest,
and the full moon
pulls at us,

Encouraging our wings to open,
to rise
and cover the earth
with green again.

-------

Woke in a Dream

-------Woke in a Dream-------

Eyes close 

softly to the sound 

of rain.

A drumbeat 

on an empty branch,

filling the entire forest

One drop 

and dream 

at a time.

The hills will soon 

turn green 

again.

If we let 

ourselves 

stay woke

To the music

of Springs 

becoming.
