Wendell’s Light

 -------Wendell’s Light------- 

I have learned 

to pray,

to thank Creator

each day

for my existence

 

Not with words,

per say, but through

a labor

of Love 

and care.

 

"Work done 

in gratitude,

kindly, 

and well,

is prayer."

Sister Vine

-------Sister Vine-------

Beneath 

green leaves

there are blossoms

 

And inside each

a fruit 

with seeds

 

Everyone

itself 

beholding

 

A garden

green

with leaves.

Beware Hierarchy

 -------Beware Hierarchy-------

Wherever 

there is abundance

 

Where flowers 

flower 

freely

 

Seeds 

that pledged 

equality

were planted in the earth.

 

Beware 

the broken hearted

 

Who put 

their hurt 

on others

 

Unlike a tree 

who through its roots

reaches 

for those in need.

 

We 

are not alone

 

Everything is 

already

here

 

In the quiet 

of 

the forest

I hear it.

BDS

 -------BDS-------

A wisdom
has been shared with me

What I pay attention to 
will come to be

Like sunshine and water
for a growing tree

I give my hands, 
my time, my dream

To tend the world
where all are free.

Love not Fear

 -------Love not Fear------- 

There are noises 

behind the noise,

the fascist chatter and anthems.

It is summer now

with birdsong mornings

and squirrels 

chasing

through the trees.

 

It is wonderful.

 

Rulers need us

to forget each other,

to fear the World

not listen

and heed the call

of wonder

and music

uprising through the weeds.

Reforest

 -------Reforest-------

For all 

of those 

who lived

 

So we 

could be here now

 

Let us unite

 

In the ancestors 

light

 

And spread 

our leaves

wide open.

In the Dappled Light of Elders

 -------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.
