One - a poem of presence
I stood...
And the trees seemed to
wrap their arms
around me...
Green feathers of the forest
tickling my attention
into stillness.
Rooting into the soft, muddy, earthy floor,
I grew...
wrapped in the woody embrace.
Rock by my root's foot.
Breeze floating through
lacy boughs of hair...
softly rustling water
flowing like blood in my veins.
Ram casts a glow at my crown.
Meeting...
Merging...
One.
