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.

-------

Reciprocity

-------Reciprocity-------

When the good Earth

shares with us

abundance

May we 

receive this as reminder

To take 

no more

than what we need,

To plant

new seeds

And forever

hold

the friend who feeds us

In the fullness

of our attention.

-------

Not Too Much

-------Not Too Much-------

The grief we carry

is not too much

for this canyon

or the sea.

For they are made

of tears

from a thousand

generations

And are deeper

than we

could ever

know.

-------

With the Sun

-------With the Sun-------

Fog rests 

into the valleys

As the Earth exhales

And the mountains 

watch over

Silently

Awaiting our return

with the Sun.

-------

Return In

-------Return In-------

A seed stirs

in the belly

of the Earth

And with 

the seasons turning

Shares its abundance

into 

this world

A beautiful 

flower

Soon 

to return in

to a dream.

-------

Silhouettes

-------Silhouettes-------

My absence 

is not departure

but a trusting in

to the space we share.

Beyond these silhouetted hills

there are mountains

and a river 

that runs between them,

Unseen

within the darkness

But heard

on the wind.

What we give transcends our time.

So I plant a seed

and trust

what I do not know.
