Birthing the New
the waking vision
the birth of a whale
captured on film
a whale of a tail
sleek and suspended
out came the new
witnessed by a surprised
cove-swimming few
then up to the surface
that first breath of air
nudged by her mother
with such nurturing care
birthed into water
such freedom she felt
now close to her mother
and looking for milk
the pair now united
symbolic and zenned
readying to journey
as teacher and friend

Transitions
transitions happening, almost on cue
changing so rapidly in all that we do
awareness of travelling the length of the infinite
time blurring, visions fleeting, nothing is definite
as if on a train, travelling at high speed
little sense of distance or the scenery that’s treed
on thru the forests and into the beyond
where are we going, where in this monde?
little time to recognize the changes that be
knowing simply we want to love and be free
transitioning into the form that can hold
all of our passions, both loving and bold

Our Tree
cambium layers enveloping the tree
allow for all life forms to grow and be free
protective layers of bark or very thin skins
allow for the movement of waters within
the flow of the water, the substance of life
contains the encoding for the fruit to be ripe
the fruit of the tree, of the me, you and we
is coloured and sweetened by the way that we be
the seed has been planted, a tree starts to sprout
we are both the planters and the creators about
about to nurture the growth of our tree
wanting to include all the beauty we see
cherish and love this seedling that grows
its strength and its purpose, heaven only knows
this is a time where we are also the fruit
our co-creating powers have entered the loop
