TREES

Come here where flowers bloom

like stars in the breast of trees ,

where agony of wounded hearts

melts into the breeze ,

where birds take morning bath

in rain of dew from lightly sunned leaves ,

grass listens to songs from

tiny birds hopping on the lap of leas ,

where crumpled petals drip like

scented dreams  of honey

for the  the green Earth to please ,

where boughs dance like

waves in distant seas 

for my breath to momently freeze ;

Come near this Kadamba

To feel how all journeys meet

in the liquid soul of trees ,

where the sky melts into

a few mouthfuls of milk 

into throats of  thirsty leaves ,

where all voices from all conchs of love

resound in the susurrus of a light-hearted breeze.

Come consecrate yourself at the root of love

Come to this tree to enjoy

Being trapped by a soulful love of all trees.
