Breath of Spring

-------Breath of Spring-------

On the farewell edge

of a storm 

unrolling

Grey skies re-

form 

into clouds

And darkness 

pulls 

back 

To the sun

there

forever shining.

With patience

trust,

as the Heron trusts

Their wings

on the breath

of Spring,

That knowing well

the fears

we carry

Will help us

to let them

go.

Green Leaves

-------Green Leaves-------

Springtime 

reminds me

that death

is not an ending

But a giving 

forward

of the light we each

have gathered.

All around

small 

green leaves 

are rising

Up

from those who gave

themselves

to Autumn.

-------

Unstoppable

-------Unstoppable-------

Change is slow

As is

with revolution

The Earth around the Sun

The People

up through empire

Slow but unstoppable

Not unlike the 

Spring

Or the flowers that rise

From 

an open mind.

All We Are

-------All We Are-------

Supremacy implies duality

and this

the breaking of a law.

To put up walls around another

is to put words 

in Gods mouth.

For the Stars

see us

all as one

And the Stars

make Us all 

We are.

Children’s Songs

-------Children’s Songs-------

Listen.

The songbirds are calling,

the peepers peeping

and from out the darkness

a golden seed emerges.

There is beauty to behold 

inside anything 

that is changing.

And attention 

is a cracking of the shell.

We are not alone

nor lost,

though told we might become

if the world were to let the Earth back in.

But Mama loves,

and reminds us with the children's songs

that everything we could ever need,

is already here

before us.

-------

Enough

-------Enough-------

There is an absence in this world 

that will not be filled 

by worldly things.

A silence 

waiting 

to be sung.

May the hoarders learn 

from the seed keepers

to never take too much

And to hold our children's 

grandchildren 

forever in act and thought.

Do not be afraid 

of being 

without

For there is sustenance 

in sunshine,

sweet freedom in the trees

And there is 

enough 

for everyone.

-------

Sunlight

-------Sunlight-------

Do not deny

yourself

the sunlight 

that is joy,

The chance to unfold your leaves

and breathe 

life 

into this world.

That which moves through us

without effort

is a gift

from the creator,

To re-member 

and share 

its fruit 

abundantly.
