~We are an old tree~small & wizened~gnarled~our children~flowers at our feet~A soft wind lifts their hair petals~Rain joins the smiles of our tears~
~Earth Chapel~
In the city we imagine
the cars are wild horses
Buildings become mountains
piled high one on top of another
until they are small and one
under a great expanse of sky
where cave creatures dwell
climbing into the bellies of the horses
making false light against the night
a collective prayer to forestall the dawn
a curious perspective
from our eyes we may leave and leave
We are an old tree, small and wizened, gnarled
our children, flowers at our feet
A soft wind lifts their hair petals
Rain joins the smiles of our tears
rolling down the ancient bark of our face
Nature is our peace, our religion
