The Divinity in All

9/7/09

Here among the oak and maple trees

So dense the sun comes dancing like a jewel

Reflected in the verdant, glowing leaves

I too reflect on the infallible

Purpose of our evolution's goal.

These days are soil for many a leafy thought,

Revelations come without a call,

I meditate on those whose lives are fraught

With trouble and appalling days of loss

And those who in this flying world are caught

By circumstance or karmic woes across

The spectrum of their lives, who fought

Through cycles of unending births in time.

Yet there are those possessed of deep belief

Who welcome the challenge and the perilous climb,

Whose eyes reveal the beauty of the soul

And open to the divinity in all.
