Soul Speaking

A highway behind me and to the left,
Another before me and to the right,
An access road close on my left,
I sit at a picnic table
A brisk wind plotting to blow away
The pages of the tablet
Watching across meager grass and dandelions
Bordered by weed trees
The water of a lively stream
Flow through its prison of
Concrete, macadam, crushed rock,
Wind-toppled trash cans,
Steel barriers, Industrial-waste air,
Seeding cars, …,
On its long journey to a polluted ocean
Where fishing factories
Threaten everything that lives.

My soul speaks to me
Directing me to
The energy of the water
And its inhabitants
Weakened by the pollution threatening
The lives of the streams inhabitants
And the life of the stream.

My soul directs me to the life energy
Of the weakened weed trees
Standing in the stead of
The magnificent forests
Once standing here
And to the life energy of the pitiful dandelions
And the sparse grass.

My soul continues,
“You seek messages
“Of the wonder, the glory of you
“And those like you?
“Of hte strength of your connection
“To the SOURCE?
“You seek connection to the positive energies
“Of the universe
“But you must reach them
“Through the clutter and destruction
“Wreaked upon your planet
“And the areas beyond it
“Cluttered with your junk;
“And I remind you that
“Although G-d ( Jeanne)
“loves you
“And forgives your transgressions
“ill you continue to love and forgive yourself
“When you have at long last
“Sucked dry
“The life-giving properties
“Of earth?”
