Dawn tree, dripping tree, tree of stillness

and wind whispered tree dancing in the dusk.

Tree of satin red heart leaves.

Moon tree, tree of tomorrow, tree of rain.

Tree in my hair, tree in my veins, tree of my eye.

Honeybush vanilla caramel tree of thee I sing.

Tree I run to for comfort.

Dead tree split open wide as a sacrifice for all

bugs and crawling life continuum.

Protector tree, supreme communicator

community leader, mother of all

tree. Sinewy branch, sturdy pine.

Tree that curve down my spine.

Fragrant and fatherly shade heaven.

Musty and musical, tree that forgives us

our trespasses. Tall and tempting tree that beckons

to climbers with two, four, six legs and more.

Tree I wear like a crown to soothe

my boggled mind and leave behind

my crumpled day.

 

Tree I desire. Tree of my insides.

Tree where I holler loud!

 

Now star-studded tree, magical maple syrup

tree of my dreams. I suck you, tree,

into my fragile heart while

walking in the woods.

 

I tree the earth.

Everything trees on this spinning orb

of constant reinvention.

Tree of animals, tree of oceans, tree of

mountains. Tree where my mind

belongs only to me.

Stronger than it seems tree. Gentler than

a feather breeze tree.

Tree who will be tickling the sky when you and I

are no more.
