June 5th 2008:
There is vulnerability
In the bud, and
Small new leaves.
In all young,
Newborns sprouting
Into Life.
There is freshness in
Water- life-giving
Sparkling fluid;
Magical, flowing,
Crashing, spraying,
Raining,
From the clouds;
From the mountains
Into the expansive sea.
There is infinite energy
Power, radiance, in
The Sun.
It can give warmth and comfort
Or scorch and destroy.
Blind with brilliance or
Dive from beautiful hues.
Great big old
Mountains.
I needn’t kneel to feel
Humbled.
Fresh with new life
And crisp air.
Life is a miracle.
This Earth is a miracle.
Earth is home.
