Tree

From your deepest diving roots,
to your highest leaves,
I feel the forces of nature,
of which you are a part,
welling up inside you.

Invigorating. Liberating.
The vitality, and evolutionary currents,
which have been flowing for millennia,
building throughout the universe
Undulating,
coruscating kaleidoscopes of colour,
pulsating within you.

Vibrating elements building,
all things, all the time.
Flowing in, nurturing,
flowing out.
A million lines,
of texture on your trunk.
A million tunnels,
to transfer fluids,
flowing out, flowing in,
bringing life giving nutrition.
The original interdependence.
Living, breathing,
essential components,
of our world.

A million microorganisms,
unfurled, hurled towards infinity.
Trying, jostling, struggling,
to be, but not thee,
humble tree,
by becoming,
you grow tall,
lofty enough to see,
the whole horizon,
stretch,
towards infinity.

Shining Sun, the light of reason, however near or far, I swing from you, throughout the seasons, you remain my guiding star. Illuminating all that's dark, divide above from the below, making light and shadow part, making life wither and grow. Guiding me on all my paths, directing me to reach my goals. Shield me from the wicked's wrath, banish darkness from my soul. Fill my heart with joyous laughs, when troubles they take their toll, Warm the waters in my bath, never let your light grow cold. Nourish me with beaming rays, so my life force multiplies. Make effortless and long my days, short my nights, and strong my eyes. That all truths I come to see, in their multitude of forms, that I may ever break free, from ignorance and other norms. Which keep the World shrouded in mist, and people stumbling forwards blind, brushing shoulders, throwing fists, seeking things they never find. Then sweet light of reason I, will promise you constant devotion. From the snow capped mountain high...
