healing roots
i healed in a forest
warm tears kissed by the wind
as i cradle in the roots of my mother
thick trunks
a woven embrace
held forever in the abundance of her grace
an embryo reborn
a life long connection sworn
for i see her whereever i gaze
a constant anchor that guides my true self from an egoic haze
once a shell brimming with the darkness of oceans
her roots cracked me open
a shoot fingered towards the
light
and bloomed with a timeless swathe of
loving might
a folded mound of a trillion grains
each once mountains
that plucked the stars from the sky
to adorn you with a core of light
light that mingles in tree shoots
which don't creak to be above the stars
but dance with them
light that burns in flames to warm your liquid love
light that sparkles in your eyes
dapples on water
sings in the wind
light
that is
forever growing
light
an embrace was rekindled with an oak today
nestled in the folded hollow of her skin
i felt truly whole within
cloaked in the might of her love
yet
her embrace filled me with you
her trunk
your arms
a sheath of safety i emerge from glistening
her roots
your presence of stability
a gift so precious
that the wrinkle of my smile melts into the crinkle of her bark
her leaves
the unfurling nodes of your compassion
green with grace
the love of the tree transforms me anew
and transformed am i in the love of you
the love of
a tree
to recharge alone is to learn
to learn
how i ache
and yearn
for us to bask in the sun that burns
a light so true just as my heart
that beats to you
the heartbeat of the sun
