The silence of life
let it be unbroken
it has a right
to be its own

I can't make any promise
  it will leave me vulnerable
  that's being really wise
  life's lesson most invaluable

Are you really listening
or waiting
for the slaying?

These are the exploiters
        openly they declare:
        'we should preserve the eco-system'
         but silently their tractors roll everywhere

Sweet and endearing,
Words cannot describe your nature.

I planted the seeds
in the garden
it does seem a long while ago
I have forgotten-
this morning the first sprouting
of the roses caught me by surprise
it was sunny, mild were the breezes
blue clouds sailed leisurely
my pet dog barked for some unknown reason
a magical moment
lost in time
I felt the pulse of life
and I was alive
in rapturous wonder
