Living On Sunlight

Be like the tree
Independent root system
Merging dark tracks of ground
And swirling cosmic energy 
Be like this
For human bliss
Life provides as needed 
And we strive 
To make the canopy brighter


Premium Member A paper tree

I made a paper tree of grief and
those now gone fill up each leaf..
Their faces, their lives, the people
I hold dear, have shaped it's
branches, year after year..
There isn't a root system to feed
my tree.
It's only sustenance is my memory..

Premium Member Immortal Mortality

Which is the truest measure of a life,
the leaf's annual departure
into Earth's compost pile?

Or the tree's root system
of timeless regenerational reforestation
slow-growing interdependent organic species?

Yes.
Both short-flowered leaf and root flowing systemic,
Left-patriarchal
with Right-matriarchal.

Rain

(7-5 foot)
Rain washes the filth on streets 
away . It gets rid 
of the stink of decay I
 do say .The smell aft-
er a rainy day smells for-
rest fresh ,I relay

Rain feeds the plants everyday.
Thru the root system,
plants grow tall  ;not wilt away.
If you don’t wear a  
rain jacket then you’ll get soaked.
This is not a joke .

Premium Member Oak Tree Magic

Oak tree works her natural magic
Doing her utmost best to spread joy
Attempting to keep peace in the forest
Oozing goodness through her root system

The woods feel oak tree’s compassion and concern
Gleaning her unconditional love from their roots
Intertangled and aware, they begin to feel beloved
Oak tree’s powerful message has permeated their souls.


Premium Member Regenerating Nuts

A nut
is just a nut
till planted
in robust healthy soil

Soulfully watered
nurtured
among sympathetic neighbors
fed by solidarity
in co-invested toil

Not necessarily nuts,
yet from this same root
system of passionate EarthTribe
ruts

Anciently established trees
and seas
and sacred nests
of honey bees

Enlightening
and empowering
nut engaging mysteries.

Premium Member Outside of Temporal

writhes bones, skeletally abrasive,
impinging upon warm bodies,
closing in, shadows stalk,
root system of sinister,
disrupted by intense light
figures in white, outside
of temporal, embrace blue
of his shoulders -
roots of sacrifice, present.
led through the forest;
dead wood parted ways
like Moses’ Red Sea, which
can’t hold water when
the King of kings leads.

Premium Member Shirlene, Nothing Happens By Chance

A youthful reed facing a wretched wind
Without root system to sustain her being.
Set in her ways and refusing to bend
Lacking faith beyond the life she was seeing.
But the tracks she was leaving in my life lay deep
Causing me to observe and intently stare.
Tracks that caused concerned eyes to weep
Wondering why God had chosen me to care.


In allowing us to cast a backward stare at life
We should become more thankful for who/what we are today.

Dear Friend, In allowing us to cast a backward stare at life
We should become more thankful for who / where we are today.

Premium Member Integrity's Potential

Personal
and familial
and tribal
and species integrity
grows the maturing root system
of spacious compassion's
wondrously eternal
awesome flower.

Whether considering politics
of power,
or religion
of rightness,
or sexual expression
of sensuality,

Yesterday's healthy truths
represent tomorrow's wealthy beauty
reimaging today's wide spirited trust,

Integrity's deepest empowering beliefs Here
and enlightening
life brightening 
Now synergetic feelings.

Wild Indigo...
Color of my third eye
Elevates my soul
To universal realms 
Of blissful peace.

The Wild Indigo Duskywing is an insect that likes the flower because the flowers have a mild toxin in them which helps defend the caterpillars that are layed on them.
