She wished to be
A lissome tree
A home
For leaves
For flowers
To grow on
Her wish was made true
Now she sits under the sun
Taking in its beautiful rays
Finally becoming one
With this universe
Lissome

A Tree’s Memory
She remembered a sky glowing red
Noises in her head
Figures that screamed
Others that whispered
And some that bled
She remembered joyful wonder
Cries of surrender
Stars that wept
Nights when she slept
On a warm earth
Nothing else beneath
No sheets no shields
She remembered before she was this magnificent tree
She was a woman
Wondering what she’ll be
When this earth turns to dust
Stranger Paths
