-------Made for Change-------
There
is too much at stake
to
cling to ways
that
are not working
Or
avoid to reckon
with
what burdens
the
soul.
We
were made for change.
We
were made
to
be brave,
To
let go
into
the dark
of
Winter
And
with the Spring
to
rise
again.
-------
-------Rooted-------
Like
the trees
turning
in
this season of change
The
people's true colors
are
coming
to
the surface.
May
those of integrity
rooted
in
love and justice
Continue
to shine,
brilliantly
golden.
-------
-------Not Run Away-------
It
can be easy to forget
within
discomfort
That
joy in life
is
joined
to
movement
Not
the type with which
to
run away
But
like the seasons
ever-
changing.
-------
-------Turn Toward-------
On
the edge of Autumn
nighttime
turns
toward
the quiet
But
if we listen
and
give ourselves too
to
this joyful revolution
A
new song
will
emerge.
-------
-------Make Believe-------
For too long
have many traded
our gift to wonder and imagination
For a fear-mindedness
clung
to things not changing.
There is a sickness
in the heart
of America.
An unreckoned with storm
pushing
against the edges of this body.
It is time
To let the winds
take
what is not working,
To let
our minds
untangle
And make believe
another
world
Without
walls
or prison.
-------
-------Follow-------
Eyes closed
and walking
with the Ocean to my left
Held in trust
by that old
love song
Of wavebrush and wind,
of mountains
and bodies
Returning
into
sand
I give over
to that
which I cannot see
But feel
is the way toward
home.
-------
-------Rather Move-------
Let
us not
be
stuck in fear
of
what we do not know
But
rather
move
Drawn
by
our inner
music
Like
the tree's
changing
color
with
Autumn.
