Gut Punch

Gut Punch--

To feel the gut punch of each living thing,

As it dies from our climate changed.

Everyday.

Everyone will see,

Will be.

Will have something changed,

Within themselves.

Like it or not.

Oh wanderer!

Be not afraid,

Anxious,

Or angry.

This is our path now.

May it be a grateful,

Green path of kindness,

Helping, comfort.

So that we may,

Go in peace,

When our time

Comes to see us, onward.

Heart falls in love

Heart falls in love

To step lightly on

Soft green forest floor.

To see the green surround you,

All around you,

And to know you are at home,

In your body and spirit.

Completely.

A letting go.

Rejuvenating, recharging.

Holding smooth wet rock in hand.

Hearing eagle screech a hello.

Seeing tail end of big elk disappearing.

Tasting ice stream water on the lips.

Mind body spirit finds comfort,

Unknown outside these wild

Boundaries of mother nature.

Outside boundaries of love.
