With the Earth

-------With the Earth-------

It is with the Earth 
that I come 
back home.

Re-membered into a child,
into water, 
sunshine and soil.

The things that form us
we return to 
through time,

In a beautiful circle,
like Autumn
unfolding in the hills.

My leaves 
now 
are changing 

From green 
into gold,
soon to fall

And become again 
the ground
where a new seed will grow.

Weeping Willow

-------Weeping Willow-------

In the high sun of summer
I feel my body 
longing,

Like 
the Willow Tree,
to forgive,

To let my branches 
hang
 and to offer 

These tears,
my golden leaves,
to the waters below.

Remind Me

-------Remind Me-------

I will not be a light in this world
if I do not let it unfold
first 
within myself.

Trees need not try 
to become a forest.
Or
maybe they do...

All I know is that a seed
planted in the earth 
with love
will grow,

And in growing
remind me
to
forgive.

Near You Shine

-------Near You Shine-------

Recognize
how those near you
shine

When you are
living
into truth.

Follow your 
heart,
Dear One.

For love 
is not 
transaction,

But a beautiful undoing
of self 
into the whole.

Love Songs

-------Love Songs-------

The bull frogs
consistent praising
brings light
through the chaos
of the world.

Integrity, 
Young Blood,
is being with truth
no matter what forces 
oppose it.

Stay on your path,
and the love songs
of the forest
will follow you
home.
