The Healing

This planet will not
be healed

by powerful politicians
in big cities
who spend trillions on
a global strategy
that never quite begins.

They also burn much
fuel.
Earth will be healed  
by villagers
who sing,
by backyard gardeners
like you

who walk more slowl
y
right here,
who feel the green
through bare soles,

speaking fewer words,

cradling each
others anger
like
mothers, awakening
the heirloom seeds
of the heart.
