The tumultuous world
Will always blow us
This way and that
With lies that birth prophets
Who stand tall
Because the winds
Make them
Live strong in their truth
Sometimes i feel like
The crickets and aspens
Who sing with the purity
Of their whole bodies
It’s the small truth
I offer the world
And
It’s my refuge
Like walking thru the halcyon
Of autumn
These fleeting weeks
When the sky shows her true heart
Lifting the veil to a dazzling sapphire
Enchanted with fairy dust and gold
Sudden scarlet piercing
The embracing blue
And i
Breathing the peace
Of feeling
Soft amber under my feet
The gentle coppery drift
Of changing seasons
Like promises
Rustling to become
Truth
