Love

-------Love-------

In the light of your presence

the seed 

within my heart 

unfolds.

And by this union

a beautiful flower 

is brought 

into the 

world.

-------

Digging

-------Digging-------

I hear you, young blood,

digging

into the dark earth

against this world.

Into the peace between

where the seeds 

of our great song

await a re-becoming.

You question 

not for answers

but to soften the edges

that complacency has sharpened.

And with trust 

you defy.

Returning time 

to the moons turning,

And the strength to all 

who listen

to unfold within

love's rhythm.

-------

All the Leaves

-------All the Leaves-------

Within

the dark forest

of this body

I have hidden shame,

and allowed 

bright colors

To cover over

the sadness 

beneath.

But, with care

you have come, 

like winter,

And taken 

all the 

leaves.

Leaving me bare

and open

to the light.

-------

Trails

-------Trails-------

Leaf by leaf,

the fallen autumn

covers the trails

I have followed.

And slowly,

the great shadow of routine

forgives itself

into light.

-------

Tough Love

-------Tough Love-------

Come, dear Earth.

Come with wind

and with rain

And empty

these branches

clean.

Some tough love

we need 

right now,

To let go

of what

divides us

And allow

the light back 

in.
