The other morning I hugged my favorite tree After climbing high up in her branches And she said to me After a judgment slipped through my thoughts That so many of her under branches were dead I wondered if something was wrong with her I wondered if something was wrong with me For loving her so And she said to me "Don't love me for the way I make you feel, Love me because I am a living thing among living things"

Living Thing among Living Things
My Mother: I ground my feet into Her Gaze up at Her mountain peaks, tree tops and blue skies Taste Her springs, swim in Her seas Feel Her Love embrace me in the air that I breathe Caressing my body, filling my lungs. Her light brings life Her dark brings depths of emotion She blinds me yet helps me see so clearly She inspires, Fulfills my heart’s desires Which is simply to feel Her Underneath and all around me.

Mother
The pavement lies along the road. Amongst the swift passing traffic, It remains untrodden except the bird. A foot steps onto the tarmacked mess; A sigh of relief from both parties emerge: Soon the step is gone with the day. She sits again awaiting her prize. Alas she is relieved of her burden; A motorway is drawn across the rolling hills. But what will become of the lonely road? Grit on grit will build anew. Upon the grit, metal would flow. Now the pavement lays no more, Peacefully the traffic rushes along.
