Exhausted, used heart - bruised
sapped by heat-suck hectic urban.
I need to escape – shedding
its labels of suffocation.

The embrace of the trees
is cool, slumbering green.
Breathing growth –
wild, verdant, and
dreaming serene.

Aboriginal voices whisper;
the heart of the forest beats.
Calling, leading me – yearning
for an intangible, unsaid need.

Now – the cardinal spirit
rises august before me.
Fostered by an attendant cascade
branches open, unconditional.

Surrender, rest, hush -
flutter-thoughts from the leaves.
Hoary knuckle straddled
legs dangling, toes licked
by the laughing stream.
Moss cossets temple and cheek,
tenderly pressed
to the living beam.

In primal, ancient rhythm
saps rises, fecund
potent through my veins.
It bursts in sweet dewdrops
Father-tree sips from my skin.

In the secret viridian I am served,
refreshed in beatific communion.
To sleep – fulfilled and curled
in the cleft of a nurturing dream.

This is a poignantly lovely piece ...
a beautiful first-step into the circle
of poetic friendships~

The language of colour is most expressive at times.
