-------Scatter-------
In
the moments I feel
that
I am useless
When
my mind has got the best of me
I
find I need
just
walk around
Among
the grasses as they come to dry
With
my arms
relaxed
Thumb
and forefinger curling
Collecting
seeds
I
scatter
And
find
my
place again.
-------
-------Emerge-------
It
is joy to see
the
green emerge
Through
tilled,
uncovered
ground
Like
memories
of
Love's persistence
Through
the conquests
of
broken men.
-------
-------Fennel-------
Uprooting stilt grass
among
the fennel
In the garden
of my ancestral dream
I give thanks to
all
who have come
before me
By tending the land
I now call home.
-------
-------Away-------
On
a cool day
in
the mid of summer
As
the breeze makes
the
treetops
sing
I
imagine my thoughts
are
kin to leaves
And
away
my
worries
blow.
-------
-------Meditation-------
Shadows
move
As
the wind
moves
Cottonwoods
Along
the
river.
-------
-------In Patience-------
In patience
there is a seed
With whom
I breath
And watch
become a flower.
-------
-------Shadow ii-------
Dark
become the woods
When the sun
grows
higher and the days
lengthen with heat
While in the
shadow
of the leaves
Where this cleverness
is most
received
I close
my eyes
And giving
thanks
I
rest.
