True Love

True love gives us eyes to see
That a divine truth surrounds,
Mystics and poets agree - 
An open heart knows no bounds.

We are immersed in love’s bold narrative,
The soulmate quest a prime imperative,
And when the perfect one walks through the door
We pledge our lives and hearts forevermore.

Eternal love won’t last, so grieve what was,
We rarely see what makes us fall - 
Open your eyes because
Love makes us all
Blind.

I Hear the Whispers of Forests

I hear the whispers of forests,
Divine network mycorrhizal,
A vast ecosystem exists,
Which is the answer and the call:
We’re deeply rooted, one and all.

Before language, we had the trees,
Our great-grandfathers holding time,
We heard their wisdom on the breeze,
Messages sent in root and rhyme,
When we knew connections sublime.

An Epiphany Dawns

An epiphany dawns, so it seems
But not in social media memes,
This sad digital age
With focused wars to wage
Must not distract us from this day’s dreams.
