You Are Loved
Greens graciousness
witnessed the stones
where prairies parted,
lavender as the seas
of tiny humming leaves,
that clearly rang
on naked branches
and gathered me
a sacred welcome.
Next to a single tree
who reminded me
how the earth too is invisible,
yet incumbent in its sorcery
as tender roots recited hidden lyrics
passed along a warm spring breeze...
You are love
You are loved
You are loving
(This poem originally appeared in the author's third anthology:
My Dear, Love Hasn't Forgotten You, available here)
