Loose Change
Break me open, like a cantaloupe
Spilling seeds for a garden of hope
Crack me like a fresh egg yolk
Gleaming with amber, glistening with nutritious clarity
Split my heart open, like Jesus
Giving love and compassion freely
Sit me down quietly, like Buddha
Allowing the world to flow through me
Lay me down sweetly, like Mother
Cradling me ‘til slumber comes
Rest with me like all of humanity
Embracing the silence of stillness
