for the sunlight pouring through
the window….
for the rain wet tossled earth.
for those who are protesting
corporate greed….
for poets everywhere,
in all walks of life,
hammers blazing, plows turning,
lovers wrapped into each other…
small children waking up loved….
for trees and mountains,
rivers and fields….
for all those working to
feed the hungry, house the homeless…
for all of my brothers and sisters,
needing, wanting, giving, struggling….
for free thought and free speech,
in spite of….
for all those i love…
