With Praise

-------With Praise-------

Grieving 

is the spring

that lifts a seed

from out 

its shell.

Cry with me,

Dear Heart.

Let our tears

re-

member us

And fall 

with 

praise

upon this

earth.

Abolition in the Maple Tree’s

-------Abolition in the Maple Tree’s-------

As the sap rises

from roots 

into leaves

And the dark Earth

turns

to the sun,

Imagine 

inside us

the light unfolding

Calling each away

from cane juice

and corn

From war 

and wealth

and subjugation

Back

into the Tree,

into forest

And home

to the sweet freedom

rising 

within.

-------

Crescent Moon

-------Crescent Moon-------

I am 

a still 

night.

A crescent

of your presence.

Forgiving

to 

Love.

-------

Gold Will Fill Your Cracks

-------Gold Will Fill Your Cracks-------

If ever you feel

you have 

been dropped

by this world -

Shattered 

into pieces,

forgotten -

Allow the Spring

in every moment

to re-member 

your precious form.

Gold will fill 

your cracks

like flowers in a forest.

Wear them,

Dear Heart,

without apology.

For the truth you share

is the light

that each of us 

needs to grow.
