-------Imbolc-------
The moon returned
for a moment
tonight
I could see
from around my shadow
The clouds disperse
and the light
come through
Like spring
beneath the snow.

-------Edge of the Quiet-------
It is the shy
edge
of the quiet season
Where the possibility
of song is held
Still
yet
within its shell.
I can hear it there
beneath the snow,
In the tree buds
not yet
budding
The river that runs
through all of us
Toward
the ocean
and the coming spring.

-------Maybe-------
Enough is enough
of the nonchalant
abuse
of land and water
As if
the sacredness of life
pertained
to only human.
How was it that we
have come to this
unwell way
of thinking
That has put up walls
and drives its flag
into
the heart of nature?
Our heart.
The heart that bleeds
and beats
within each other.
We were not made
to pledge ourselves
to a single
god or nation
But maybe
rather
to love this world
and the breadth of all creation.
-------
-------Darkness Beyond-------
Above this city's light
in the comfort
of darkness beyond
What I see
and what
I have been taught
Is a stars light
I know
to follow
Through unknown
streets
toward home.
-------
-------Unity-------
Solidarity
with
is
an understanding
in
To
the oneness
of
all
creation.
You
are
I,
we
are this Earth.
There
can be no justice
in
a world
afraid to
Love,
No
freedom
unless
everyone
is
free.
There
is
no
place
for
charity
In
this family
we
all
depend
Upon
the
unity
and
the wellbeing
Of
each other
and
the
land.
