Abundant
Do you know
How to hold
The abundance of a world
Offering itself
To you?
Do you know
How to hold
The abundance of a world
Offering itself
To you?
The call to stand
Stronger than life itself
To reach for the sun
True to its nature
Of growing erect
Even while embracing
Other limbs
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
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
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
I might not understand
The beauty in all things
from the tree tops
to the arranged cobblestones
under my feet
Large at sea
Do you dare
To walk the plank
To fall
In that obscure
Daring crest
Called by the richness
