Atop a rocky Mountain Skyward secrets – the wind whispered Beneath a Valley abyssal – deep I stood upon it – Ruminating Of what I have become And I Paused to take that Leap!
My lips Split – speaking your name The Peaks beckoned the call Echoing madness – I Plunged into Unyielding was the Wall!
You were a song I sang Merrily The echo deafened the Reality I wished, hoped, and waited Yet missing was the Actuality!
My Ears – heard The echoes of a time long gone What my Eyes couldn’t see
I swore you were there Lingering in the spaces of the light But really – it was only Me!
I collected your being What my senses could gather My salted silence grew and I – Remembered – you were farther!
I am the Tree – That needs the Warmth of your smile I bear – Fruits exquisite When – You have been Hungry – awhile!
I am the Tree – that you Water With your Deepest secrets I hold Them in my Roots – and grow Stronger As I prepare myself to offer you – a Safe space When the approaching Storm – gets Wilder!
I am the Tree – that Breathes Your flourishing – Existence I offer – Foliage – as the Heat gets harsher And threatens – Your very Subsistence!
I am the Tree – When you – a Lost Traveller Wander to me Wanting to rest desperately Split me – And make me into – Whatever You need I will be Yours Unconditionally!
Deprived of the Senses And yet there is that – One Encompassing – the piece of Me But Tangibility – is none! I reach out to the – Five Beg them to De-shell They say – we won’t indulge It is Your Heaven or Hell!
