God of Trees
Pleading for a divine sign
From the tallest tree
With strong branches
Growing so high in the sky
Reminding me to try
Cause my life line lied
Let me sing your rings
Of wisdom out loud
Inside my forest of doubts
Praying to the
God of Trees
Shade my lungs green
Send me a sea of leaves
To help me breathe
I’m walking inside my mind
Towards the edge of a coma
Afraid to be left behind
Hoping to find you
Without you
Cause my life line lied
It’s difficult to do
Shut the voices behind my eyes
Help me find peace
Praying to the
God of Trees
To help me dream
Send me a bed of leaves
To help me sleep
From the tallest tree
With strong branches
Growing so high in the sky
Reminding me to try
Cause my life line lied
Let me sing your rings
Of wisdom out loud
Inside my forest of doubts
Praying to the
God of Trees
Shade my lungs green
Send me a sea of leaves
To help me breathe
I’m walking inside my mind
Towards the edge of a coma
Afraid to be left behind
Hoping to find you
Without you
Cause my life line lied
It’s difficult to do
Shut the voices behind my eyes
Help me find peace
Praying to the
God of Trees
To help me dream
Send me a bed of leaves
To help me sleep

Hi NG
It feels good to be back onsite. So happy you enjoyed this
little write:) As for the February can't wait til it's over and start a
fresh new month! Sometimes life sucks and you got to just let
things crash before it gets any better. LOL
Thanks for the RL lovely.

Hi her:)
Thank you so much for your understanding of this write.
It's been a traumatic month. Can't wait til it's over and find some
stability off site. I'll get there but in the meantime I got to remember to
breathe and rest. Thanks for all of your supportive words amiga:)
And the RL!!

Hey you:)
Thanks for the virtual hug - I felt it:) So needed at the moment.
I'm doing my best to keep my head up. Find some sort of direction
for healing. Some things need to be done on your own cause you know what you need better than anyone else:)
Thanks for the better days comment. I needed to hear it!

Sorry that February has been a bummer month. It's one of the cruelest months of the year I've always found. Sounds like yours has been extra difficult. Sending you good wishes for better days ahead and we in the underground will do our best to keep your spirits up !!
All good things A,
Here's a heart ❤ to power you through

It's been challenging to my peace of mind!
Cruel is the perfect word. I haven't had time to be on site
and write.
Thanks for the kind words amigo:)
Nice to hear from you!!

Perhaps not a god but certainly top of most awe inspiring local trees is the 1200 year old Yellow Cedar nearby...

Dear A,
Prayerful, pleading, raw, intense. Wretched February! It’s wonderful to see you back. I’m sad the month has proved less than stellar. There is a hopeful vibe in choosing to seek the light. This poem is lovely and I hope as the year progresses so will life on the outside of DUP. Xx

Hi H!!
I've missed ya amiga. Been a crazy run around month for me.
Lots of changes coming and kinda scary. I'll get through it though.
Just don't have time to invest in my writing like I want.
I'll get back to my normal routine hopefully before too long.
Your comment is spot on!

Hi LJ:)
Thank you so much. I actually wrote this at work. In an odd way the one place I have a break from the craziness at home. LOL
March is just around the corner!!
Thanks for the snaps on my write!

February is almost over. March is a strong month. You're going to climb to the top of it, no problem.
This is an awesome, insightful write. At first, I didn't catch the meaning of the rings. I obviously thought of rings we wear. Nope. You meant the rings in the core of the tree.
I'm slow at times. Patience reminds me eventually.
Nothing but good luck your way, Del. See you at the top.

Well hello there Styx:)
Yes I meant the rings of a tree trunk. LOL
March is here and it's already getting warm.
Thank you so much for the best wishes. I've been really stressed out
lately and have not had time to comment or write.
Patience is a virtue!!
Glad it kicked in for ya:)
Thanks for the RL and stopping by buddy.

I can relate to this personally. The rawness and vulnerability is so familiar, and it felt like I was reading my inward worries and thoughts. Nicely written, Adelphina. Here's to a much better month!

Hi Luna:)
Thank you so much. I wrote this when I was in the middle of "it."
Trying to find a way to breathe when it feels like you can't. Sometimes life is brutal. Gotta find a way to make it work:)

My pleasure. Writing is definitely an excellent outlet for releasing built-up steam.
