You were like a tree,
Limbs silhouetted with love,
And all who knew you
Clung tightly to your branches
Reveling in your strong roots.
To A Great Tree

Today’s clear blue sky
Her supernal sapphire sphere
Eternal longing
Distant blissful heavenly dome
Calls me near, calling me home.

Where sad soil lies
Soft patter of rain alive
Green rejuvenate
Dreams that take hold in water
Rooting where hope is dormant.

It’s been a while since the earth drew me to her arms
Like a river current pulling me gently along,
A while since those internal strings sang so slowly
As the earth turned, and water spiraled,
and sunlight spread her fingers through the trees
leaving summer shadows fluttering to let go.

under darkness
the earth moving
like the first night
longing hours dissolve
trembling
waiting
for day.
