Leaf and the Acorn

First leaf of autumn

— and a

Green acorn

Wasn’t looking…

They just came to me

One Fell

One Floated

I look around

— Red Rock

This land was birthed

— in water

A mighty oak

— in such a small thing

A great mountain

— begun

with a handful of dirt

Four small stones

Four directions

Four races of the

— earth

all this

— built

from a cell

We come —

The Home Maker

The Village Creator

And I see her

— My Sister in the World

And I think:

Being what you are may be hard

It’s still easier than being what you’re not

— for

There is a village

— inside of her

A message

A guide

A trust that —

All This will

— serve

That

(in time)

The timing is always

— right

One green acorn seed

— infinite trust

She will fall

She will not fail

Bruised

— never broken

She is the Creator

— and the Created

From this darkness

— she will bring

Light

In water

— and

Blood

Tears

— nights alone

a child

an idea

a new way of life

Will be born

Love may be drowning

— but still

It has lived

This great mountain

— from that

Handful of dirt

This great tree

— from that tiny acorn

She is the eagle

— though there’s blood on her feathers

Still they float

They Fly…

Like a Leaf

Crawl now

— sweet angel

Cry your tears

For tomorrow

— will reveal

The glory inside you

Be patient

Have faith

— as I so often tell

myself

and we will meet each other

and we will smile

We’ll fall

We’ll not fail

Sister

Friend

All the time we spent

These wee hours

All this must pass

As we remember how —

To build a New World

From these smallest of things
