Upright from root to tip
Sap rising
From earth to leaf
Strength and flow
To trunk and branch
All aspiring upwards
Yet held firm on solid ground
Supporting all
To reach a higher power

May we follow your lead
And have pride of place
Standing noble to the day
Bending to a humble need
Showering grace
With fragrant blossoms
Scattering seed for a new start
Giving shelter to the weary
Whispering with tender touch
Of future things to come
Rooting us in truth
Guardians of a sacred space

As spirit of the land
Roaming paths well known
You see the current boundaries
And ever present to a mood within
Connect at last to nature

Here is peace and quiet
Mindful of your progress
Through ups and downs transcended
You choose your place
Sensing all around
To be at one

In the silence of your being
Seeing a bigger picture
At this focal point
All unfolds to show
The highest and the best
A perfect landscape
Perfumed and just right

Now your spirit's fed
With form and light in flow
You bring your gift's delight
On time
So heaven comes to earth.

The shopping trolley
Is left on it's side
Wheels akimbo
Just abandoned
Discarded and miles
From the store
Like many others of its kind

How it got there
Is quite a story
But now its sitting on the pavement
Waiting to be restored
To an upright function
And carry the load
Of another shopper
Fulfilling its destiny

Perfection in a frozen dance
Falling to earth in crystal grace
All wondrous colour floated back as one
To give us proof of realms unseen
A sparkle of holies
Pristine wonders of the world

Training it again
I'm staying on track
Clickerty clack
Back and forth down the line
Until I get there

Seasons alter, weather changes
Landscapes seen at different speeds
Some heads down to read a book
Others glancing at the view
Creative folk all a twitter
Whilst some at work and all keyed up
Voicing bits of conversation
Or deep in slumber
Lulled by sounds or rocked to sleep
But always know their destination

One by one we come and go
A 'hot' seat taken or adjusted
Making room for overflow
Left luggage lost or made way for
Then with stations too regular to miss
I'm back again to home or work
For yet another perfect service
No delays this time!

From perfect order
Of a light fantastic
Information passes on
A super highway
Before you even know it

Heartfelt moments
Pulsing through the universe
Recording every thought
With old memories
Replaced by new ideas
Linking one and all
To make a world of difference
To live by

Moments coincide
Gateways of opportunity
Opening and transmitting
Love above all else
A coded message
Written in the pathways
Connecting each and every cell
From shining stars
To the smallest particle on earth
Bringing an innate power
To the heart of the matter

In silence I come
And wrap myself around you
Bringing unspoken words of comfort
Making my presence felt
Through gentle breezes
And when storm clouds gather
I'll be there
To guide you forwards
And when you walk through mists
It's then you may see me
As a blazing sun
Or reflected moon
A perfect flower or patterned form
Gracing a landscape
Made beautiful
With a design
That you may otherwise
Have never noticed.
