-------In the Dappled Light of Elders-------
We grow
with those
we fall from
By blood
or other
means
Like seeds
who root
and gather light
Beneath
the elder
leaves.

-------Fecundity haiku-------
-------Metaphysical-------
In springtime
I am reminded
Of the fruits
that fell last autumn
How winter held the seeds
and now
With summer
flowers open.
Each of us
are like this
Seasons
ever-changing
Everywhere
and all at once
Present,
past and future.

-------Thankfull-------
There are many
ways
to say thank you
For this existence,
in this
moment
I bend
and breath
while planting seeds
And with
my hands
dig gardens
That soon
will bear
more gifts to share;
From light
grows light
abundant.

-------The Tradition-------
Responsibility
transcends the distance
Between place
and generation
Here and now
carried on
By those
of long tradition
We are of this earth
no matter what
No matter who
or where we come from
To care for land
is duty, is grace
To give
is our great reception.
-------
-------Manifesting the Vision-------
Caged
but unbound
Prisoners
by
political means
Exercise a knowing
That bends the lines
and breaks the chains
Of this modern
day
plantation.
Spirit is an edgeless thing
And a Revolutionary's
cannot be captured
For their vision seed
has here
been planted
And We will tend its growing.
-------
-------Differentiation-------
Every piece
makes up the whole
All sizes
and shapes
when come together
Cared for
and acknowledged
Will fill
each others
unfilled spaces
Holding steadfast
through the storm.
