The Green Wave III

The Green Wave

the green wave rises from the mighty Pacific ocean
reaching the shorelines, fuelling the motion
a powerful cresting, readying to flow
across whole nations, the awakening green glow

choosing a future, a future that can be seen
co-creating for our children, letting go of the has been
collaborating always, so all may have a voice
the leading wave’s edge clearly showing
that green is our best choice

the timing is essential to call in Mother Nature’s force
awareness and taking action, we can change the course
knowledge of the science and environmental clues
can light our way to stability painted in green hues

the powerful voice of our nations, a voice speaking for itself
all peoples, more elders, first nations and students, sharing their wealth
a wealth of knowledge and compassion, envisioning a way
recognizing they are empowered, able to have their say

the green wave is building
and will spread and arrive
to be received and welcomed
on every shoreline

the green wave
welcomed home
balancing this beautiful blue/preen planet

Seed Talk

Seed Talk

the seed of a weed grows quickly and strong
the seed of a tree grows slowly
weed seeds are freed to grow anywhere there is space
the seeds of trees need space, light and determination
to grow from the start
their germination

we are all seeds
it is now time to sleep
to consider what we want to grow into
sometimes predetermined
but from the experienced, even learned
we choose the best roots for our setting
and grow into a form of creation
bearing the fruits of our intimate relation
between heaven and earth

Childhood Memories

Childhood Memories

the cherished memories
of childhood lore
were so ofter from
when we were outdoors
and where we were
free to simply explore

the freedom of openness
the freshness of being
in charge of our responses
to feeling and seeing

where did you go
when you went out to play?
let us get out in nature
and remember the way
of our childhoods
