be kind, be life

the vestibule of life is the forest

there, all things roam freely

without the mire of human unkindness

or his hate-filled destructive manner

in the ocean life resists the prejudice

of judgment or segregation of kind

swims about in joy not noticing tumult

of tsunami waves or storms, above

the sky embraces the light of day

and darkness of the night is the

cover of sleep, to rest and conjure

the dream of calm and peace

when we lay our heads upon the hem

of Nature’s dress we give a moment

of 'relax' to the Earth’s unrest from a

clenched fist of an evil ‘man’, a life’s test

let’s embrace the forest, the ocean

and the sky for our souls to reap the

goodness of life, without disdain

let the deer run free, let the wolf howl,

let the dolphin swim, let the eagle soar
