All Returns


-------All Returns-------
In my dream
I am a stranger
to progress,
A wide-eyed child
on the edge
of reason.
Without knowing
but with
wonder
I follow the footpaths
drawn
in hillsides and into stone.

A thousand generations
never gone
but circling.
Call me
backward.
Call me strange.

But let my name
reflect
your deep within.
Each are a petal
in the patterns
unfolding,
And all
returns
to earth.

Love and Restoration

-------Love and Restoration-------

That which guides 
our 
revolution,

Like the Earth around the Sun,
is not the absence 
of tension

But its presence
deeply 
felt.

Light pulls against 
the dark matter 
in my heart,

Restoring truth
to move the 
shame

And love
toward
reparation.

We are not alone,
but each a flower
of the ever-changing,

In this field together
unfolding
into Spring.

Beneath the Waves

-------Beneath the Waves-------
When strong words
direct
upon you,
Feel in
to the
hurt
Of the hurt feelings
that might
surface.
Beneath their waves
is a deep
and quiet ocean,
A whole world
awaiting

your
attention.

Good Intentions



-------Good Intentions-------
Be patient
with the seed
inside,
Awaiting its
spring to grow.
Love
but
do not hover.
For good intentions
mean little
If in effect
they block
the light.
