To hug a tree is to be bound in time

to the essence of its Being.

Cosmic template of above and below,

the archetypal pattern.

Each tree upon the planet 

a reflection of above,

roots in the earth

crown to the sky,

its trunk a flowing tube

of energy and light.

They are our brothers and sisters,

the trees,

a mirror for us too.

Look deeply in the glass so clear

to what’s beyond your stare.

Wrap your arms around the tree

and feel the energy flow

from above to below,

Feel the resonance

as you tune

to the angels in the sky.

The power is yours

because it’s love

that flows through you from sky to earth,

from angels to the Earth below.
