The peace lily
in our prayer room
luscious green leaves
grounding us in Gaia
for the first time in years
a white bud appears
we attend its progression
upward toward the light
today it opens
the flower blooms
delightful
would it exist
without our comprehending
human eyes
as witness?
are we not
Gaia’s eyes
is it not
our calling
to pay attention and
live in gratitude?
we seem to either
praise or harm
when will we realize
the love in our hearts?
In our prayer room
the peace lily bloomed today
glorious
Junction of Beauty and Love
