-------Care Work-------
In
the garden
I
find
good
company
And
planting seeds
a
chance, myself, to grow.
There
are fewer answers
than
there are questions
that
I hold
And
so
I
listen
And
take care
with
the space
between
For
attention makes room
in
all kinds of ways
Encouraging
the
light
within.
-------
-------What Moves Within-------
Beyond
the edges
of
what is known
There
is a world
to
let
become
A
forest
yet
untouched by war
Awaiting
our
presence
to
grow.
Change
need not come
by
force nor fear
But
forgiveness
to
what moves
within
Like
an acorn
forgives
itself to Winter
And
with
Spring
to
transformation.
-------
-------Let Back In-------
To the space of mind
reclaimed
from anger
From fear
and isolation
I let the joy back in
Unapologetically,
like wind encouraging
clouds along
Re-membering
the stars beyond.
-------
-------A New Day-------
The power of men
is clung
to
By hands
that have no other hand
to hold.
It is a fragile existence,
top-heavy
and about to fall.
For there is
a new day
coming
A world unbound from gender,
from race,
from possession.
And as a green wave,
like diamonds,
curls upon the rocks
A ripple of our dream
returns out
to the Sea.
