Majesty of Creation

The branch holds to the grace of time

Be this a sacred union divine

The savor of bud, a drop of rain

Creation’s joy be not tame

The glimmer of light be it known

The majesty of Creation be it shown.

The Wind and The Willow

The Wind
all pervading
free
one with all direction
The Willow
rooted ever in search
branch and leaf so humbly bend
holding to the wind
the light
and the unseen Presence
Wind and Willow, so I am
thought, mind and spirit
all pervading
free
one with all direction
holding to the unseen Presence.
