Credo
I believe in protecting the trees. In rich endless forests
masses of green
and lush leaves.
I believe in the strong animal horse, a being,
a creature of fine, clear mind and heart,
coat shining sun.
I believe in traveling far to touch the earth,
close to the sands, the seas
stars, sun
Because I believe in good stars, the Milky Way,
realizing Earth's tiny speck in the universe.
I believe in appreciation, of peace between people
neverending laughter; inspiration.
The whole earth held in my hands,
breadrolls of clouds,
I believe in the ocean, the crashing
cycle of tide
I wet my feet in the icy foam.
Language, the curling words of poetry,
speaking with fire
Drawing the world with line and word,
I believe in working with my hands
seeing clear through the eye,
and
feeling
deep to my bone.
Inspired by Maxine Cumin
