Life of a Tree

 
Deeply rooted in the womb of
 Mother Earth
Branches stretched out to the sky
I connect this planet with the
Spiritual realm
Being a tree I am more awaken
 Than I was in my life as a human
Once I was an insecure woman
Full of doubt without self-esteem
Now I live in widening circles and
Trust in nature's cyclical unfolding

Every spring I am reborn
In full bloom
A bride of the man of green
Soon after I give birth to
Sweet summer fruits
Before autumnal storms
Ask me for the death dance
And I let go off
All my leaves
To be prepared to undergo a
Symbolical death in frostbite winter

Our strong social community
Lives together in mutual support
And harmony
If only more people were open
To communications with trees
I would love to pass on my insights
To assist them in creating
A peaceful world
Worth living in
Maybe in another life
When I am born human again
