Earthwork

Wells of earth sit open faced

like a checkered board

Game of chance, skill, delight

Yet patterning for beginning, not wining

Designed for renewal, not dominance

Open faced, “Let’s set an intention

for the Starts”, she says warmly

As the cold spring rain patters

It’s Resonance above us, singing

Here inside the glow of green house

becoming like a chapel,

together offering prayer

over our starts

Over ourselves as we commence

Our earthwork in synchrony, open faced

Pressing fingers into soil

to form a micro nest for seed

Infusing hope, love, health

As much for new life

as for ourselves in communion with life

As if running our fingers

along the earth wells—

Amplifies our intentions, beyond surrender

like our open faced palms to sun

Her Intention, my homing

My homing, her intention

All the same, adding our part

to the Will for greater good,

a greater good to include us here now

In our earthwork, a beginning

Whatever will we grow together?

Open faced, with the work of intention

Homing on the plate of the future

This is our work, here on earth

Growing in cycles with Love
