Gazing On Green Growing Things

When gazing on green growing things,
Our minds grow calm and hearts grow soft —
A breeze among them sweetly sings,
The spirit then is bourne aloft

Away from all the mundane strife
We give unnecessarily
To those who go with us through life
When we might simply loving be

Away from lines and corners, far
From artificiality,
From prejudice and war,
It healing is for us to be
