Natural Magic

[image error]

Green Magic (By Radhika Mukherjee)


Nature still works!

Don’t despair!


It’s March and right on cue, there’s brilliant green everywhere,

The trees have woven beautiful new foliage for themselves.


They know it’s time,

They read the wind and earth and water,

And this is what they say, ‘We will uphold nature, will you?”

Dreaming of Pink…

[image error]

A Dream of Pink


Who will notice the light on the flowers,

But for the quiet ones?

Who will think of the green we need,

But for the dreamy ones?


Why then is the world tilted loud?

Why doesn’t love trump fear?


When will the healing come?

The Edges of Hope

 


[image error]


There is an edge to hope,


That even when it floats away,


Clings as a shadow of wonder,


To the corners of the spirit.


 


Let it flower within you today,


Let it rise.


 


Smile at hope,


And hope will smile upon you…


 


Who knows what the two of you can do?

That Warm Feeling


The mango tree knows it’s time for spring.


It blooms before we’ve even noticed the warmth. 


The parrot sings exultingly,


Wheeling in celebration. 


Go tell the cold night air,


The summer smell is here!

Starblood

[image error]


Did you know that blood smells of rust?

That our starburst mangled bodies die to awaken?

That in all the liminal space of time—

Truths unfold in ontological puzzlement,

Amazed at their own impertinence?


For what is anything amid infinity?

And where’s the space for infinity in our small is?

The renderings of visions wild,

All these data streams of forever dreams—

Will we ever truly reconfigure?


There is a silent, screaming, streaming smile—

Unfolding.

There is a thunderous rapture building—

Just out of reach.

Walk into the whirlwind—


Ascend!

This Day, This Time, Is Ours!

[image error]

Ascend!


From afar I watch a mansion crumble,

I watch the inconceivable take shape,

And somehow, I am strengthened in my self.

Somehow, I feel the essential taut granite in me,

The one that holds up the truth.

Today I know that if there is to be any hope,

We each have to ascend.

Find our power, flex it,

And go heal this earth of ours.
