How best to convey what’s true

You, being human, have been gifted

With enormous potential:

You have the option to hover and loom,

Dark and ominous as this tree;

To shelter and warm like this shed;

To remain aloof, cool and observing,

Affections waxing and waning like the moon;

Or to bring light and color into the world like the sun.

Grass, sky, bench, or sea — you can choose

Each day how to be;

How best to bring truth to life.
