Dainty feet dipped in ponds
then pressed to the earth.
In need of a connection
and a deeper grounding.
I admire the trees
Powerful and unmoving.
Never needing to know
any other place but where
their roots lay.
Wind calls to me
teasing my dark hair.
Chasing through branches
and creating
a symphony of sound.
My face towards the sun
I close my eyes and finally breathe.
Rays of light warm my face
Lighting me
from the inside out.
