Winning entry from Grace Anderson


 
sacred seed- new body, new mind
planted where womb & planets
merged outside of time
to the center of the universe synergized
stars mend our blended eyes
witnessing our first breath of earthly life
our roots growing ever deeply
an ancient & infinitely beautiful surprise
we age like the old weeping willow
always growing & reaching toward the same sky
but beyond the hard surface,
our helpless inner child still cries
we always hold this innocence
further than what guilt we claim in this life
love is free, & we are blessed to free our minds
let your own light shine,
and without searching, you will find
the integral place
where your honest perpetual
truth really lies.
it's the fire of our bounty
a celestial, eternal prize.

 Grace Anderson
