the Runes Pt. 3 Ihwaz
Roots below
branches above
arms extended
to Freyr's sun
A thousand prayers
in the hands that
touch these leaves
that touch the bark
and binds this world
take my soul
where our gods sleep
take these eyes
so I finally see
~Yggdrasil~
The earth is breathing
flowers blooming
through our palms
the earth is hearing
and she answers
our call
branches above
arms extended
to Freyr's sun
A thousand prayers
in the hands that
touch these leaves
that touch the bark
and binds this world
take my soul
where our gods sleep
take these eyes
so I finally see
~Yggdrasil~
The earth is breathing
flowers blooming
through our palms
the earth is hearing
and she answers
our call

After Rainy Day
Veil of words lay loosened
along the brew of breezy leaves,
As brilliant beams gleam
beneath
those seeming greens.
So, what is left to say
of these eyes?
All the tears we cried
dry in brittle wounds,
Bathing beauty in smiling-bright,
of shadowless
blooms.
And on broken roads,
between cracks grow flowers,
laughter... and
Something like mercy
shines
beneath these...
along the brew of breezy leaves,
As brilliant beams gleam
beneath
those seeming greens.
So, what is left to say
of these eyes?
All the tears we cried
dry in brittle wounds,
Bathing beauty in smiling-bright,
of shadowless
blooms.
And on broken roads,
between cracks grow flowers,
laughter... and
Something like mercy
shines
beneath these...

sorrow
I climb into the tree of sadness
its branches old and gnarled
it gave me rest from my melancholy
I didn't have to pretend to be happy here
the guardian accepted me as I am
many before me climb into its arms
it was old and wise
had heard it all a time or two
there wasn't a sorrow not known to this denizen
my friend since childhood
I would refuge in its great branches when frightened
I told it my secrets
it never told a soul
my heart felt like it might break
if it wasn't for my guard and friend
finally...

reverent fascination
I wonder what stories are held
deeply etched
into bark textured with time
rich in secrets kept
of lives sheltered
below & within
protected by such sturdy limbs
how many rings numbered
safely secreted
where life runs through hidden veins
what could I learn
if I could speak the language
as leaves gently whisper
flashing silver & green
our only true sight of the wind
running reverent fingers over the surface
deep runnels & gnarly trunk
how many storms have been weathered
a true testament
to...

Inhaling your neck
and grasping your bark- I miss
climbing your poetry.
and grasping your bark- I miss

nobody leaves
fell asleep in the wood
it was late afternoon and the traffic
could be heard in the distance
but the trees all agreed
that I could

Forest Fire
What vain people dwell in this place.
This place of ethereal connection, this palace.
(Disgust)
What destruction has been brought forth.
The scorched and soldering crown in the north.
(Disdain)
What should I reach out for you, when you don't believe.
With two optic nerves that you allow to deceive.
(Bewilderment)
This distress signal, this beacon of despair.
Ghostly whispers of the dead echoing, tangled in my hair.
(Languishing)
We ache for, to be vast, to be ever touching.
Our branches open wide...
This place of ethereal connection, this palace.
(Disgust)
What destruction has been brought forth.
The scorched and soldering crown in the north.
(Disdain)
What should I reach out for you, when you don't believe.
With two optic nerves that you allow to deceive.

This distress signal, this beacon of despair.
Ghostly whispers of the dead echoing, tangled in my hair.

For What Eye Want ( in better voids)
O, beautiful Life!
What'the'fuck do you want now?
There's little left to offer, as all I did give
to the All-in-All.
No impressive references left to
spread the void.
I begged yOur pardon every day
for eons, eons and eons and more.
I've spread yOur beauteous rapture with
wit each fumbly, one-finger stroke of this'ere
space-aged device in greater confidence and
co'operative mishap than ever before.
And now we're left wit this. ...

Life in the slow lane
There’s a tree over there.
I know you can’t see it, but I don’t care.
I never needed you to see it, for you are not here
And I could be anywhere.
The kids are playing and singing their songs.
With experiences they learn their rights from their wrongs.
We are all teachers, learning all the way along.
Why is that dog barking?
When no-one pays it any attention.
Oh yes I forgot to mention, that is it tied up.
It has never truly ran free.
Prisoner sent to detention.
Taken wherever its master may lead.
It...

spinning on the Earth's axis
the Earth spins on her axis
naturally revealing evolving pain
aching in her quiet times
I silently spin with her
my soul sinks into the moist dirt
roots my umbilical cord
tree guardians nourish me with wisdom
while the ancient redwoods watch over me
for eons we have evolved into the being we are
Mother takes note of our progress
and whispers to the great winds
"they're becoming"
the ocean waves kiss the shore
awakening womanhood
the moon has set the internal clock
little ones are...
naturally revealing evolving pain
aching in her quiet times
I silently spin with her
my soul sinks into the moist dirt
roots my umbilical cord
tree guardians nourish me with wisdom
while the ancient redwoods watch over me
for eons we have evolved into the being we are
Mother takes note of our progress
and whispers to the great winds

the ocean waves kiss the shore
awakening womanhood
the moon has set the internal clock

From Mushroom Rings To Redwood Trees
Grasp, reluctant to scattered release-
Sprouts of air, into dust drifted seeds-
Floated trip, held high, on springing breeze-
---
All will fall, and find nestle in dirt-
Patience itself, awaiting own birth-
Taking nothing, to give in return-
---
Given to ride, on winds reternal grip-
Embrace of both, released in their kiss-
Anytime dew, formed from crisp fallen mist-
---
Anew lover, formed from flight beneath-
Glimpse of grasp, as symbiotics meet-
And thus, the thirst, gives itself to seed-
--------- ...
