The Wild Stars
Every person on earth walks their entire life back and forth underneath the stars, but it seems as if some never look up. Babi…
GOD’S ALCHEMY
Green elements turn into golden ones when
God’s breath flows across them
Gold dust motes float down as slowly as
elephants sinking into mud for a cooling bath
The whole golden earth turns its face to the dark
as its spine stands still and its tilt wobbles slightly
We turn our faces to the sunlight once or twice in a
day if our hearts are slow in jumping over turnstiles
I look up at the Spring trees and see some
leaves where the sun shines through turn
transparently golden
O God shine through us the way
the sun shines through these transparent leaves and
ignites them
and turns them golden
