Is it enough?

 

Is it enough

When sun and moon pause

Suspended in celestial sky

The greater and the lesser light?

Is it enough

When light displays and dances

Threads of silken rays

Through leaves burnished gold and red?

Is it enough

The symphony of birds

Song sung from hearts

Unburdened, unconcerned?

Is it enough

This riotous bounty of nature

Its uncontained magnificence

Cast with wanton extravagance

To saturate the senses

And marinate the mind

To soak the soul

In sensual indulgences

Is it enough to break the web

Of fears and uncertainties

Of calamities I've conjured in my mind

Condemned

Is it enough to break the chains

Of loneliness I've crafted for myself

To breach the battlements I have built

To keep the others out

Is it enough to break the hold

Of my inferiority

That nature so bold should

Be a part of me.

Is it enough?

The question comes to me

Is nature’s bounty

Enough

To take me out of me?

When I have left my fears

And condemnations far behind

When I have broken down the battlements

And the hold of inferiority released

Then my soul will rise and sing

And joining with natures fecundity

It’s prolificacy and beauty

My soul will proclaim

It is enough

It is enough for me!
