Ever twisty they climbed – the vines
the tree was speaking low, so slow – the breathing
roots were diving deep, so deep the breath, the depth of grieving
concentric soul, go within to flow, letting go, it’s time the past was leaving
born a child, wild as smiles, dance in meadows green
with joy your heart is weaving
and when the night starless looms, you’ll bloom
your heart, open as a flower
