A symbol
A piece of paper
That could
Fuel a fire
For warmth
And light.
It looks like
A stable
Mountain range
Holding you up
Like the earth.
Like home,
Comfort,
Safety.
It tastes like
A banana
Dark chocolate
Delicious raspberries
Fresh, clean
Water flowing
Quenching a thirst.
It can feel heavy
Like chains
Around your body,
Neck, ankles,
Shackles
Chained to
Someone else’s
Expectations
Choking off
Your life force.
Bait, bribe
Manipulation
Cheat
Scam
Sharks swimming
When you’ve
Been wounded.
Refuse it so tainted.
Stand
Naked in the
Woods
Unfettered
Breathing an
Abundance of
Air
Warmed by
Generous Sunshine
That owes no debt to
The earth.
Open again as it
Now rushes.
Become a garden hose
For this money.
Direct its flow
With deeper
Awareness.
A human creation
Now arriving from
Hands of generous
People through
Your giving heart of
Service
Abundantly
A blessing.
You’ve always known
It cannot ever
Become a beautiful heron in flight,
The expansive sky,
A caring hug,
Or a tender kiss
Of love.
