The Shaman Tree
l: Is one who helped bring me into the world,
A midwife to guide my way, with
Divinations, to set me on the Path,
A soul of many times made new.
ll: I seek her, to commiserate on my
Next transformation, of rebirth.
For the true journey is not to repeat,
To return yet again, and still
lll: Be as unaware as I am, here, now
To pray, with only half my wits.
To sense and then see, to be and then know,
To reach nirvana in a spark!
lV: And, as I’m presented my humble self
At the top of the world, within.
I stand before my Sage, the Shaman Tree,
Blossoms whisper me floating by.
V: For the world’s at the Spring where e’er she is,
Her bounty of branches reach out.
The flowers will be eternal as I’m
The blooms they will be when she sings!

I love the images and the cadence, what a great read for the beginning of Spring and Easter's time.

Trees are the portal between worlds; and their fruit the choice.
Really enjoyed both content and form, Jade.

Thank you, dear sister Sage. xo
I’ve always had a special connection with our cousins the trees. From climbing the highest ones in our neighborhood and weathering out the winds in their mastheads, to hugging the girth of a rugged trunk in my Sunday best...
they created my first sense of camaraderie with the spirits of Nature.

I built a treehouse relatively late in life, when I was in high school. I would climb up there on a windy day. My spirit lifted every time. Loved this write, and Ninja was impressed!
Ohh thank you, my dear crowfly friend, your words are the sweetest expression. And you know how I love your devoted Ninja!
We had a very simple treehouse where my family lived ( till just about 18 months ago ) wedged within the open “palm” of a large eucalyptus at the rear of the property. I would sit for hours there, finding peaceful solice, as I’d work a little metal birdcaller in my hands - twisting it back & forth - making squeaky bird “chirps”. In no time at all, the tree would be filled with birds who were drawn to the chirping!
