Renga Poetry
Earth pulls us downward
to regain its lost children
birds long left the nest
Scatterers blown by the wind
find their way in this grand world
In the summer's warmth
freedom of the quiet mind
talks in whispers now
Lost children blown windwards hear
the noisy silence of choice
Like all falling leaves
we will find our way back to
earth from whence we came
There to lie in turmoil’s grace,
our goodness to the earth replace
The husk is buried
used container for spirit
what then lay within?
The silence of nature speaks
a beseeching gaze restrained
By grace, thought, and need
mere abundance eloquent
to find our way home
Slow disintegration starts
return to pure particles
Under yellow sun
seeping into the dermis
though we are not there
Like sands of the sea, poets
collaboratively took
