Where ancient trees nourish
Those prayers of our ancestors.
Where forgiveness weaves luminous threads
Of hope between familial wounds that seek
Shelter amidst the verdant earth.
Where long held tears are honored
As talismans and portals lying in wait between
Sedimentary stones.
Show me a forest
Where hopes and dreams
Are realized by nature deities and spirits
Frolicking to and fro
Between parallel universes.
Creating a sanctuary for all creatures
Great and small.
One where humans and nature
remember the tiniest miracles
Each has to offer the universe.
