Seeds

Consider how these maple seeds

have within them everything they need —

cloistered protection

and precise instructions

for when to sprout, how to become trees

Likewise never underestimate

the power of this now —

everything contained within

to realize dreams:

imagination, memory,

just right alignment

with time and timing,

protection and release,

everything to move in poignant harmony,

all you need

to become peace.
