Say Yes

Too
long
we played,
no, lived, believing
the rules of zero sum.
Now all we gained and thought we'd won
is being so speedily undone!
We, the world,
all losers,
zero
sum.

Say
yes
to forests
night and day
They, the prize of sunshine,
they, centrestage and spellbinding in the moon's limelight,
make free their invisible gift –
the air makers
of breath,
pulse,
voice.

Say
yes
to water
river and sea
and the mastery of change.
Yes to the drama of the moving clouds
and the alchemy of rain –
how water falls
and falling
raises
us.

Say
yes
to time's
give and take.
With rain at the roots
and secret rivers of sap raising the trees.
Say yes to green leaves
turning to gold,
to leaf-fall,
earth
rest.

Say
yes.
Yes to
the natural world –
everything we are part of.
Say yes to the fibonacci curve – nature's artistry.
Yes to the golden rule,
the elixir guarantee.
The world
balanced
free.
