Like a Banyan Tree
Like a Banyan Tree,
my roots (seeking rebirth),
from eldest, outstretched limbs, descend
to a heartening earth.
Like a Banyan Tree
on hilltop with grand stance,
love from embossed gold earth and sky,
shall help my soul's expanse.
Spirit rustles arches
of my highest leaves.
Life flows through my core,
my dawns, my days, my eves.
