Their Tree Of Life / from last winter-RePost

[panic in paradise]

" Their Tree of Life "

with their backs against a tree, they leaned in looking
up-wards - paused
in lieu of each others silence, out of respect for
what each other now sought.

how far do the roots of such trees grow he thought-
what songs do the birds sing from these branches,
she wondered.

she imagined further of the birds, and when they leave for the sky,
do they hear their song echo, or see a direction of light ...

he considered the ground, the feel and need of
roots and the rocks-
what minerals to draw, what water to find.

now, with their essence of thought&being conjoined,
in a ring in and around their tree-
leafs and buds will continue to grow, fall, fertilize
and spreadseed... their happened alliance -
a symbol now of growth into eternity.

Fantastic imagery in this whole piece but I love this bit best of all.

then after the twilight, there was a new day
as always
as is
then from the light of the dawn which was lended, to be saw-en as the dew from the roses
made to walk out on
and on and on
and on into the starscape again
the work of this - is the hardest undone
it is the light blood of the song that lives unsung

clear your table
let the places be set
rest the cake in the middle
with out regret
slice

look for what??? the birds say
listen how it seems they know their way
as aimless and drifting it -may be
sune you-lie and-gust a lay
accept and-remember
ought a sober-ing memory known - to keep -
this slivered-ember in a budding sanct-uary
- if newly recognized as will forever be a rose -
an elegant green thorn marks in a new rain
