compassion transforms stones

hidden caves
that helped heal
holding in secret
luminous paths

wombs small and big
in mountain sacred
holding imprints of times
that many had lived

waiting to tell
stories of futures
in the past lived
and delivery of futures
from the lived past

haven for sages,
herbs and medicine men
of life giving water,
and love filled light
where angels and animals
conspired to protect
gifts and treasures
that humanity had
in past
received.

--------
the forest sings aloud
for all who had ears

waiting to reveal
waiting to share

the... secret.
