Olive tree
Stand tall
Stand firm
And in your standing
Remember all that feed you
The infinite particles
Water, air and soil
Rich with what you need
Stand tall
Stand firm
And in your standing
Remember all that feed you
The infinite particles
Water, air and soil
Rich with what you need
Open up your life
Like petals
Gently revealing
Seeds of creation
Let the light in
Casting away
Shadows
And illusions
Well,
A herd of goats
Guarded
Guided
Taken care of
They jumped at the chance
Of rushing
To the road
Through an opening
It felt alive
The grounds that touched me
Sliding under my feet
Lifting every step
Its lines
Circled my body
Found the knots
The cracks
The sinews
I used to lay down
In the tall grass
Face turned to the sky
Arms open wide
Welcoming
Breeze
Sun rays
Laughter of the woods.
She looked up to the mountains
To where her savior might come
One riding upon the mist of eve
Gliding over a mantle of green
She never saw the figure longed for
Nor did her dreams come true
So she turned her gaze upon
The mystery hidden in her bosom
If
I can view
the world
through the eyes
of
love
It would be
colored
with
rainbows
Stable,
like the promise of rain,
And the promise of sun
After it.
Dare
And in your daring
Never think twice to jump
Catch the wind
Under your wings
No matter what
Voices and souls
Lift you up
Like a feather
a path opens up
to the past,
a peephole
into a time of long ago
spirits calling
the living,
spirits silenced
through the ages
