Into My Tree

He is but a worn trunk –
she a vibrant lake…. which shimmers
underneath his tree.


--------------
A truth of buried roots
which hugs the desperate ground
is her love –
which binds me to this earth.


Each day I burrow deep
with gnarled limbs of thought
until I find the freshness –
offered at her stream.


I quiver in anticipation
as the tips of me –
reach out to her
absorbing all the moisture
and draw love – into my tree.
