Mysterious Wind

-------Mysterious Wind-------

You put up walls 
like you own 
this 
land,

But, 
silly man,
before your mind
made border lines

There was movement,
and souls
patterned 
to the stars.

Sorrow leads some of us 
into darkness
and others 
of us into light.

Listen to the cries
of Mother Earth
through 
the children,

For she is 
trying 
in every way 
to remind

That you too 
have come 
from a little 
seed,

Carried 
here
on some
mysterious wind.

Right Where You Belong


-------Right Where You Belong-------

What one 
may call 
a weed

Another knows
as 
medicine.

Listen
and let 
yourself be heard,

For the Sower
has cast many seeds
across this earth

And every
one
has taken root

Right where
they
belong.

In a Breath

-------In a Breath-------

A cottonwood cotton carries 
on the rose-sweet breath
of all our breathing
together.

Every leaf 
and 
us.

Light into life,

Earth
and 
atmosphere.

Exchanging.

Still Water

-------Still Water-------

If busyness should come
and throw a stone
into your still water,

Breathe
and follow just one 
of those tiny waves

Growing 
wider
from the center.

Please, dear heart,
please do not let
too much

Ever take you
from being
present.
