Send Your Love

I heard this song recently. Time to heed your call... what is your calling? How does your past prevent you from following it?

This ain't no time for doubting your power
This ain't no time for hiding your care
You're climbing down from an ivory tower
You've got a stake in the world we ought to share
You see the stars are moving so slowly
But still the earth is moving so fast
Can't you see the moon is so lonely
She's still trapped in the pain of the past
This is the time of the worlds colliding
This is the time of kingdoms falling
This is the time of the worlds dividing
Time to heed your call

Send your love into the future

Caterpillars

Caterpillars crawling,
crossing pavement,
some already smashed,
inconsequential;

I think
I'm not that fragile.

Peace is just a word

What is it, in us,
that needs an enemy?

Why do we crave the feeling
"Us and Them"?

Until we answer these questions,
peace is just a word.

Mourning

In my heart, a high throne of cedar,
you had perched for a reverent moment,
before flying, fierce beak and feathers,
to the somber white field above the sea.

You disappeared, dot-like,
eventually exhausted,
you were taken by the swallowing
measured waves.

My deep roots seek the water table
and find there is too much earth;
My ripe branches will hover in saline air,
waiting only to meet the ocean.
