Freedom

As if the leaf & the tree

Love so deep,

the need of each

becomes one & the same

As sun meets rain

drawn into thee

Up from generous roots,

down from starlight shoots

In devotion to keep —

To keep the Aliveness

for the tree rings

and spring bird sings

For the breath of you

and depth of our view

As if the green leaf unfurling

Already knows the gifts

in the autumn release,

feeding the roots

under winter snow

Already knows love so deep,

for Life itself to grow

A love so deep,

Yet so spacious

Freedom glows

As the sun meets the rain

Squinting for thus to see

Spectrum of rainbows again—

The Sacred diversity of Aliveness

To Love so deep, we are already released—

To Love so spaciously

for all beings to be free

May we live our hope with Nature—

with our love so deep, so free
