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
