Beginnings

photo of buds on a tree by Nancy Zavada


But we have only begun
To love the Earth.
We have only begun
To imagine the fullness of life.

How could we tire of hope?
--so much is in bud...

We have only begun to know
The power that is in us if we would join
Our solitudes in the communion of struggle.
So much is unfolding that must
Complete its gesture,
So much is in bud.

--Denise Levertov
