in an atmosphere playful with the soul of a child
streaking clouds edged by an orange dusk of light
against a blue gaze of vast encompassing sky
feet nestling deeper in a soft earthen grass
inner eyes wandering beyond life’s appearances
a tree spreading its reach beyond its own capacity
mothering its future by a self-giving descent
seed-worlds shooting towards earth’s nourishing embrace
sprouting limbs rooting their persistent support
uplifting the body by which their growth aspires
cascading heaven through nature’s artistic dance
underneath the yearning of a spirit seeking to be
her presence a calm dream of beauty’s graceful smile
her sweetness caressing life’s intimate Heart
she sat cradled peacefully in Love’s gentle repose.
