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
