The Face of Nature

Your hair,

Wild lavender dancing in the wind,
Throwing Scents of heaven into our life,

Your Eyes,
Streams of running water,

Tears that flow across the landscape,
and across our hearts,

Your lips,
From which the sounds of Blackbirds Sing,
Enchanting us into the mystery of now,

And your passion,
Volcanoes that explode,
into our world,

Reminding us of our place,

Your Soul,
This alchemy of soil, water and life,
This Planet Earth,

From which we Birthed,
