Make Like A Leaf

If we bear no judgement
we can receive no punishment

Imagination is creation
everything else is untrue

Here are the steps to understand:

Spend your days lost in thought, creating

Find rainbows in rocks

Know that the purr of a cat can propel your blood
that the silence of flight can give you swoon

Bury your face in a blazing bush and tickle the edge of a leaf with your nose
let it tickle you back until you blush

Tip back in a garden chair so far you see nothing but sky
so far your heart skips a beat
so far a spark of the infinite
gasps
and your breath is as a flock of crows
quickening to take flight
one flap to be free
