Speak of grass,
Speak of roots,
                             Clinging to dirt,
                                                           Like nothing else,
Find  trees,
Find the roots,
                          Clinging to the ***** Earth,
                                                          ­                   Like nothing, else
they might walk, else
they might fly, else
they may bow,
                                     To the Owner of the footstool planet,

See and sight,
Eyes delight,
Awe or wonder,
                         Grab the dirt, feel the grit,
                          Smell the dirt, scent of ages,
                           Listen to the dirt, in the silence ...
                              Taste the dirt, dust to dust,
Dark earth, rich
Dark thoughts, poor,
                                      Cling neither, to the dirt of the Earth,
                                                 Nor, to the soiled thoughts,
Reach to the Sky,
reach for the Heights,
                                         Not the moon not the stars,
                                           Open hand, Open heart,

Beyond and
                       the near.
