Tree
Wet nurse
Holding us in
Wide mother’s arms
Giver of breath
Mover of Moisture,
mist through broad leaves.
Warmth in fire
Respite in shade
Resin in meditive incense,
frankincense and myrrh.
Soil in regenerative death.
We breathe in tree
through our lungs,
eyes,
and fingers touching
tactile bark.
Tree’s fractal shape
her vibrant green
Calms our mind.
We sup at her sap
Sweet, tasting of spring,
of life.
Tree,
the most loving creature on earth.
Peace giver.
Plant a tree
and you begin to save the world.
