branches mingle into sky flowers 

a canopy of butterflies setting sail

the blossoming of talent

from a hidden cove of ideas

the work of the trunks

to manifest largely the kernel within

to dream in blends and bends of sea-green world

the magnificence and relief of standing tall

fluorescent fronds of tree fish 

swimming through phosphorescent foam

to a clear path of what we deserve to be

the mysticism of colour

the aura of the forest made tangible

ancient dragonflies, the esoteric heart of the world 

tasting creation

permission and freedom to go directly 

to where we most need and want to be

an island cocoon of love, light, safety    

in the communion of trees we learn

by steadily working   

day by day   season by season

stretching branches  

to finally flourish   brilliant

that self-actualization is for the good of all

our growth protects others

what feels right   must be

the evolution of consciousness 

mirroring meditation
