Human Nature
Beauty lost
Searched by my ill
There must be a balm
I plead for the still
In fields and in meadows
Jumping from claws
Of lost careless mind
Dragging its thoughts
Glitter leaves waving
Through every dimension
Green kiss absolving
Blading time’s levels
As petals sew hearts
With lavender needles
And roses dance velvet
In whispers of people
A botanical symphony
Encased in bone skin
Pollinating, transforming
To crystalline will
In waves and in streams
Running from tongue
Of slumbering serpent
In mandala thrones
Dirt of past lives
Clean with a splash
Siphoned forgiveness
In sinewy wrath
Warm aqualine salts
Eroding spent paths
Soothing the lava
Of each aftermath
As grit dries to sunrise
High mist takes new shapes
My spirit laughs silky
Afloat and awake
I leave nature my body
It continues to play
Already clutching
Its next human clay
