In the body of a forest Lies the feet of a tree Sunk deeply into the soil Is the root with a heartbeat Deep earthly eyes With a presence that is calm If you let him sink into you too quickly He will water your every form Like the spinning of the Earth He is the drizzle of the stars The sweetness of the air And the breeze with every and no care He is the tunnel system in the city That connects us through and through He is the electricity That lit the room In a world with different stories He is the sun that claims no glory He is the seed that plants the tree Yet has the roots that found their way to me

In the body of a forest Lies the feet of a tree Sunk deeply into the soil Is the root with a heartbeat Deep earthly eyes With a presence that is calm If you let him sink into you too quickly He will water your every form Like the spinning of the Earth He is the drizzle of the stars The sweetness of the air And the breeze with every and no care He is the tunnel system in the city That connects us through and through He is the electricity That lit the room In a world with different stories He is the sun that claims no glory He is the seed that plants the tree Yet has the roots that found their way to me
