that was worthwhile?<br class="">
I was not a refugee<br class="">
hungry and and crowded in a tent
nor did I distribute food and water
with gentle hands
</p><p class="">my heart was boundaried until<br class="">
I became an advocate for pigs and chickens
beaten, eaten<br class="">
unseen, disregarded<br class="">
I made my life a daily prayer for you
</p><p class="">we can not destroy<br class="">
the consciousness of a single leaf
though drowning in playthings
we can lock ourselves away
from its beauty and fragrance
</p><p class="">this is my song of praise<br class="">
to the green hills<br class="">
pollinators, gliding the winds on a great journey
and starlit waters
</p><p class="">I pray we will see<br class="">
the other side of the mirror<br class="">
as part of life’s weaving<br class="">
my words are insufficient<br class="">
for a prayer of this magnitude</p><p class=""><br class=""></p><p class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>- Larry Weiss </p>
