I hold a forest so deep.
Secret paths where branches release
their fluttering confetti
and coat the mint grey stones below.
Death and joy fall to the forest floor,
joining the breeze to celebrate the mystery –
layering lessons earned through eternity.
Memories gather with grace
back to her loamy soil,
soft and full with forgiveness.
Floating paper angels quietly landing
in the ivy that clings and creeps –
holding all of the Underworld
underneath.
I crawl under her lush lace blanket.
She envelops my skin –
a soothing shelter.
A liberation.
My human disappears into my kin.
we undulate under the light of the moon,
animated –
possessed by the wind.
Taken over by a wild pulsing –
Inhale.
Exhale.
My roots ripple with electricity,
overcome with waves of bliss and grief.
Purging pains embroidered
into this body.
Releasing an unknown Love trapped –
finally freed.
She’s always been Here –
silent and expecting.
Awaiting your exquisite surrender
to that Untamed Holy Force within.
Just let it out.
Just let it in.
I hold a forest so deep
within.
