The Earth is Plainspoken
Once I knew what the trees know
Connected root by root
Their underground messaging
Accepting mysteries
Once I knew what the fish know
Earth shaking water splashing
Deep diving then just swimming
There is deep change upon us
The world stays the same
Until it does not
This is what volcanoes tell us
This is where we are at home
Where the sky bleeds in beauty
Oceans sigh
We are simply creatures seeking meaning
Where is the meaning in the stream
What do wildflowers do
Do we speak the language of metamorphosis?
