Autumn Winds
   
October 31, 2023

Under this waning moon

in a season of descending, 

everything is cradled, held

in silence. As the east winds 

gather, offering a presence, 

rising over coastal mountains

then descending to the ocean,

they can open a heart to hope,

a hope that abides imagining,

imagining a space where no one

is excluded, all are welcome,

and the intimacy is generous.

In this genesis

of what has been denied

joy is recognized without a name.
