Pasque Reflections

Creator at center

stone circle – like a wheel

Seasons:

creation and death in winter’s cold.

Emergent Pasque flowers

ripen and mature as seed-filled fruits,

to scatter beyond this ridge

Grounded – harmony – living together

all earth as one.

Prepare

for flight

for new birth

for different ways of being.

remaining in the hearts of those we’ve loved.

Hawks circle.

dive, soar

to spiral downward

Cirrus clouds wheel above the prairie

Catching dreams from grounded earth

harmony

struggle

survival

Dream

Sleep and awake on prairie soil

Comet showers almost near enough to touch

on summer evenings.

Mother? Father? Are you here?

We are.

Dream our peace.

Become the seers we were.

Your heritage is ours

Remember us with love.

Heal our wounds.

Become the healer of your present time

Let the circle be unbroken

In the sky, Lord….

and here on earth.
