Message from the Garden (revised), For my Mother, Mother's Day 1979

Have you heard the song in the leaves by your door?
There are voices reaching tenderly for your ears.
And ears that are listening to your secret smile.
You are not alone.
Spirits of Nature rejoice in every ebb and flow,
Laughing and waiting for you here
In the silence between each thought.
Have you heard how we are all one?
Once long ago, we spoke an old language;
Dreamed into each other's souls;
Bowed to each other in passing.
We were together.
When you pause at the window
Where your vines twist, pushing toward the sky,
Look to where the leaf joins the stem
And see how the bud of our love
Opens in your mind,
And how the fruit grows in your hand.
