rooted
filter the crisp creek
water through your toes
who’s life adds rings to trees
climbs their fibers
sees the world from their spires
allow the stream to climb you, too
raise your arms
in the quiet morning forest
stand tall
still, except to bend with the wind
your hands can catch the sun
as well as any leaves
but remember not to crush
the life that light brings
remember to trust its flow
these waves
from ages past
that have leapt from star to star
and journeyed to you
offering a touch of warmth
a moment to feel
rooted
