IF A TREE COULD TALK WHAT WOOD IT SAY?

2023

I am tree
All my trees
I’ve lived here for eternities

I am
I am being
All seeing
Without your eyes
I reach the skies

I love the light
The rain
The earth
My roots my home
I do not groan

No need to walk
No need to talk
No need to do
My life gives to you

And in return
I ask for naught
But love
As i love thee
And you to know
That you are free

To walk
And talk
And do”

I feel you passing by
Your blue light surrounding
Why do you cry
Feel me calming

Open who I am
Giving forever giving
Season after season
In my resting
In my expanding
Always present being
To feel you passing
Your blue light passing

To you I speak
No words appear
Radiating peace and rest
My gentle life exists
My growth is yours
Make peace
Make calm
I take your stress

Now calmed
Now breathing clear
Walking gently
Seeing me now here
Together we are
We are complete

You are free
To be
Your truth
As I am mine
And together
We are one
As you pass by us
With your blue light
Surrounding
