Redwood Dream
Dreaming takes down
the light curtain,
bathes us in visions
of Mother Earth–
Her life, Her dreams
If we could listen in,
hear Her whisper in the trees,
see the color in Her dreams,
this monolithic earth whale redwood
Go see Her in your heart
when you cannot feel Her leaves
or bark, or roots
inviting you
She meets us there,
in Her sacred vision,
Her rooted beauty.
She folds our prayers
into soft bark
Her singing leaves,
Her living roots,
inviting us
to strength
Footstep by footstep,
connected in
Her graceful image.
She can
hearten
all of us,
our waking, walking
Earth dreams.
