While watching you, my tree
I am intimidated
By your openness
Your shameless leaves
Warmly caress me
With loving stories
I am too afraid to live
I step to you
Shyly hiding in your shade
Forgetting myself
In the embrace
Of your branches
The peace I feel
Brings Me closer
Gaining courage
Through your comfort
I look up
Your eyes are the spaces
Between leaves
Where life shines through
In shimmering light
We kiss
Your lips are silk
Not bark as I imagined
It's not about you
Your mouth is only
My own warmth reflected
I leave your trunk
With a hopeful sigh
Knowing our encounter
Returned my linear path
Back to My cycle
Of renewing passion
I am illuminated
You gave me seeds
Of Myself to spread
I throw them joyfully
And they float along
Light's rich currents
And to think
No, to feel
Our kiss sparked divinity
In Me
