Their small heads
Rise proud
In mid-trail.
Delicate and fierce
They stretch their
Full miniature scale.
The risk they take
Of being
Stepped on,
Dwarfed by delicious
Access
To sun.

In these hands
Is held the future,
Made of blooms
That kept their oath.
In these hands
Is held the fruit of
Sun’s long labor,
Fed by rain
And nature’s growth.
In these hands
Is cupped the sweet taste
Of confection,
And the marvel
That is bounty
And is beauty
And is both.

Wider than the wildest view
It spans
The soul
To draw in breath
And nourish you.

If a hollowing sorrow
Catches your breath in a
Hold
And then folds
Like a snail
Into what can’t
Be told …
Let the richness
Of you
Spread like gold
From a long ago story
Foretold,
Like the waves’
Gentle touch
On a morning’s
Threshold.

If you look into the pond, you’ll see
The sky reflected,
The white clouds,
The world drenched in the beauty
Of clear water
On firm ground.
But if you’ll turn your head
From pond-life
And look around
And up
Onto the land and sky,
You will see the real world
In its worry,
In its glory,
So much bigger,
Spinning by.

Let the power
Of breath
Churn the air
Fill the earth.
Let the wind
Fill your sails
As you learn
To exhale.
Let the future
Flow clear
And may hope
Draw you near.

The long night arrives
Wrapped in ends
Of dreams
And threads of hopes.
A tapestry
Of what may come
Therein,
As unfettered souls
Are finally free
To roam
Within.
Where darkness
Becomes its own
Light,
That holds
No more an actual
Night.

Climb up
From the abyss
Toward the sun
Upon
The meadows.
Climb up
From way beneath
To where clouds are
The only
Shadows.

Walk about
The quiet earth
Where water used
To rush.
Meander in
The silent dunes
That nestle elder
Paths.
Wander into
Times long past
That witnessed nature’s
Wrath,
And let the calm
Like ancient balm
Seep through your
Whole
Into your soul,
To nourish you
With hush.
