Of this tree
......it is a beautiful world ~
All of The time ~ ... We can manage the spin ..... With its sweet gravity! The tree was not trying to be a home or ships or books! And yet ...... it is all of those things ~..Without being chopped and shaved! We sail on the exquisite air ~ She provides..... We read the light ~ Filtered through it's branches ~ We live in the rooms of her seasons! The moon sees more than we do ~ And a park is like a leaf Blown far from a forest! And then caged! Our calling tree is calling back to the forest ~ Through the mists of time!! Through man made frequencies and satellites ~ And when we allow it ~ through us! And we reconnect with souls and places that have always been ~ Our truth Our balance ~ Is somehow restored! so now that we have allowed this landscape to absorb us... We can hear the calling tree ...... all the time!! |
