Healing

 -------Healing-------

Something happens

when I dig 

by hand

A garden

that brings me closer

With the place

the land

Hearts beat

together

In oneness

once 

again.

Gardens

 -------Gardens-------

The cold wind 

hasn't stopped now 

For days 

here 

on end

Howling patience 

through the leafless trees

"There is work 

to do 

inside today"

For this heart and mind 

need care as much

As the garden 

I would 

be tending.

-------

Sacred

 -------Sacred-------

When doubt comes up

And the walls 

close in

Remind yourself,

"I am 

a child of this world

And this world is full of magic

And beautiful,

beautiful things."

-------

At Once

 -------At Once-------

Frost 

in the valley

and green on top

The changing 

of seasons

reflects a notion

We too 

are many things

infinite moments

Here 

now

at once.

-------

Gold from Green

 -------Gold from Green-------

The truth 

that tends 

my trust in us 

Is that 

which turns the autumn

To gold 

from green

the bond between

This Earth

and all her children.
