She kicked off her shoes and danced through the meadow. The sun on her face, the warm breeze caressing her skin, the sweet perfume of wild flowers taking her breath away and transporting her to a another world. She lingered by the edge of the meadow, enjoying the heat from the noon sun , before skipping into the coolness of the woods. She caressed each tree, singing to them, adding her voice to the chorus of robins from their choir loft in the branches. She was ecstatic at the wonder of it all. She slumped in the arms of a red maple, sliding slowly to the ground resting her head against the trunk and closing her eyes.

Someone was gently shaking her shoulder.

we are entangled
a tedious commitment
rings of life showing
we’re rooted without water
hard to go, dug in deeply

Being one with the nature

It is so futile to resist that call

Which I can hear not with my ears

But directly with my heart

It call me to be one with the nature

To be a balm to the broken and bleeding

Injured mother earth

To assuage its tears and to repair the hurt

By binding our minds and forms to the wavelength

Of our planet, we can become

The rescuers, the ones who rehabilitate

And not the ones who plunders and destroy

PROMPT:

Ancient tree woman

melancholy ponderings

of when she was

but a seedling

young, tender, delicate

reminiscent of past loves

and other experiences

she was carefree

living in wonder

never concerned with

a future of settled

and although she

has gained great

wisdom through the ages

still, there is one

thing left unfulfilled

a longing ache

for a love eternal

~ * ~

Endurance

She in endurance

Takes deeper roots with each day

Grows towards the light
