Things I Find Especially

Long Live The Giving Trees

On this Full Moon
of Abundance
we find ourselves taking,
taking more than we need
and threatening to bleed
the big, bold, and bright
green Giants giving off
sweet, soft air
and haven
to a thousand living things.

Please do not cut these Beings down.
Please do not kill for profit
or for proposed and supposed Human benefit.
I know, and you know, that we would all much more deeply benefit
from the living with
and learning from
the silent stance of beauty and strength
that these Redwoods embody and instruct.

Murder is fuct
and not part of this dream.
Go downstream
with your gas-powered saw
where your life is ruled
by unruly law
and the belief
in your separation
and power over
life.
Go downstream
with pain and strife.

These Redwoods stand free
as you and me
and we join in agreement
to acknowledge our
inherent right to live out our lives
in peace
and in full blooming beauty
without threat of death
from another.

The wind blows
from end to end,
life to life
and the living
never dies,
only flies
in different
phases
through different
hazes
of color
and light;
the eternal flight
of the eternal flower.

Aloha
