About This Poem

Hallowed Leaf

Hallowed leaf upon the tree

   a symbol of his love for thee

      sacred chants in morning's breeze

            ancient roots he longs to please

                  heart-shaped foliage, a sapling pure

                        for this spiritual journey he must endure.


                            *  For Brian Strand's Contest.
                                
                                Dedicated to Jag. Thanks for sharing your culture with me.

    Ah Gwen, I wonder if Jag has read this, I must give him a nudge. Trust you to come upe with something so dear and full of encouragement. I agree with you he is a special guy and I love it when a message from India comes my way from him. Beautifully said my dear! Luv, Lizzie
