Truth

This much I know is true:

Aspirations, hopes, dreams and magic

Grief, sadness, sorrow, synchronicity

What else I know is true:

Bees landing lightly on flowers

Butterflies amongst the petals

Babies, fat and silly, hungry and longing

Love of a friend, a partner, a child

What I hope is true:

The wings of my own heart soaring

Like the hawk I witnessed today

Imagination floating out like clouds

Swimming across the deep blue sky

What I am afraid is true:

Madness and violence, aggression and hate

Roaming around with devilish certainty

All over Mother Earth

Guns blazing, voices shaking

Screaming so loudly I can taste it

Not like butter but hard lard

Tough, old, moldy, smelly

What I also know is true:

Your heart, your body, our corporate bodies

Capable of free will and free won't

No god or goddess directing us

We humans acting out of our own

Traumas, suffering, despair, and pain

What I believe is true:

We are One

Being One, when I hurt you

I hurt me

When we hurt our planet

We hurt bodies, minds and breath

Calamities continue

Distress increases

And we cannot fly above 

Seeking to live above the fray

We are pulled down from our

Lofty thrones and disappear into the 

Ashes of wild fires,  into the bowels of floods

And we can rise again

Only by Grace alone
