TREE PEOPLE

 I have the stability of earth
at my feet as the green
moss grows as a blanket
to warm and comfort me.

I gladly open my crown
to receive the light of the sun,
the radiance of moon, the
splendor of fire, the speed
lightning and the swiftness
of wind.

I reach out and I become an
energy of photosynthesis linking
Heaven and Earth.
And through the veneration of
this life form I ask;

Am I of tree? Or am I of man?
