Ripe

Ripen
Listen
Manifesting
All your curiosities
Your fruit has
Been growing
Some time now
It’s time to
Lift it from your tree

Your body
Is telling you to
Become the offering
You need
Your spirit
Is wiling
To hold you
With ample
Generosity

Before it falls
Onto the ground
Before the earth worms
Begin to settle in around
Break off your
Beautiful treasure
Your gift to
Humanity
From your tree

Swinging back
Blowing forward in the wind
Of life’s earthquakes
Shaking it down
Your truth descends
This bearing
Of broken memories
That last
As well as
The vibrant moments
In your past

We are the
Suffering
We are the joy
We are the branches
That behold
A circle formed
Your fruit is
Ripened and resilient
Ready
Enjoy
