Take only photos, leave only footprints,
The mantra of the visitor
To nature's stoop.
We tread lightly on our mother's carpet,
The grass or soil or sand deforms
Under shoe or sole.
We watch as our cousins trot or sway or chirp
As our brother sets on the horizon,
Brilliant and silent.
Together are we on our little world, starstuff all.
As much of the ground or sky
As we are each other.
Watch as the stars rearrange themselves,
See the passing of eras, young ones,
Rise to your feet and behold.
Planting seeds in the rich brown of my eyes,
Watering them with the cool blue of yours,
We gaze past irises and into souls
Our identities blurring and blending
Fusing into something entirely new.
The harvest is lush, my basket overflows.
Corn of ideas, creeping beans of love,
The flowing gourds of acceptance and
Understanding give a cornucopia of
Nourishing food for the soul.
