Ebb & Flow

Wind dances

with bright green

maple leaves

Sings my sadness

erases tears

Lie on cool earth-

She absorbs pain

consoles me

weeps with me

Sunlight dapples flow

across skin and damp brown earth

Remember the fluid interconnectedness

of every living spirit

Universal life cycles

Sadness ebbs

Endings become beginnings

Night turns to day

Rainbows from rain

Tears flow to happiness
