The sky breathes
unseen waves blow warmth
setting sap free to flow
through veins
each individual cell connected
to the whole.
The tree of life grows
instinctively pure.
Leaves relate their stories
to fresh, new blossoms
on the bough
pink, lush and lovely.
Each petal holds secrets
of the universe
and she,
she sees it all through
the fire in her eyes
as she too, unfolds in the
glow of the sun.

I needed this poem tonight! Your peaceful portrait of the tree of life, of the universe, of the unlocking of a soul to fly… yes, indeed. Thank you so much! (Still recovering from Wisconsin voting… this was balm for my soul…) Peace, Amy

Your writing is so beautiful and peaceful , I Honestly enjoy every word of it. period
Scrumptious verse, always enjoy my visits here :)! Sorry for the delay (puppy duties :)).
Ahhhh….. could feel the sun. k.
Clever image and beautiful verse to accompany. Congratulations!
What a beautiful poem. I love the way you moved from sky to trees to leaves to universe and then back to sun. Fantastic read. And the photo is very cool as well. Thanks
Liked the glow of the sun
and the idea of the universe being involved
Every morning I can feel the currents of the air, the sun’s vital breath, and every evening I can feel the evening’s hush, the moon’s quiet strength.
Beautiful poem.
Meditative!
oh, just lovely! and i love the deep truth in both of the two-line stanzas, each one could be a poem on its own.
All I could think of was summer, summer, summer. This is so lovely, and it warms like summer.
Absolutely beautiful. I love your style and voice.
I read this as a deeply spiritual poem: the sap flowing through the tree of life.
This is so delightful… thank you!
Beautiful poem! Light and flowing, matched the lovely picture as well. I liked the rhythm and soft rhyme within the poem, the images of the words too.
Wonderful…love these lines…she sees it all through
the fire in her eyes
as she too, unfolds in the
glow of the sun.
Beautiful write Bren-and a reminder that we can all unfold in the sun–
Who is she? – This mysterious woman with fire in her eyes. My favorite lines “Leaves relate their stories, to fresh, new blossoms, on the bough” I can almost see them talking with little movements of wind. Great job.
Just lovely!
She, must be soo beautiful! 🙂
Delightfully alive and erotic. Profound and rewarding. Thanks!
oh nice…this made me take a deep, deeeeeep breath…wonderful images in this bren
So beautiful…….I love “each petal holds secrets of the universe”. Over here, it is still gray skies and coolness. Sigh. Waiting for the sun myself, ready to roll in its beams like a cat – if it ever comes.
delicious bren…so many great lines…the tree of life growing on instinctively pure…each petal holding secrets of the universe and then relating that back to her in the end….nice…
Ohhhhh. This is just beautiful. Especially love:
“as she too, unfolds in the
glow of the sun.”
I watch the sunrise every morning, as I write. This will stick with me, this morning. Gorgeous.
Life blooms all around and it can always be found, just have to look, too bad I can’t lay out in the sun all day though.
… seeing the secrets of the soul … beautiful, Bren … thank you. Love, cat.
Lovely!
This is very beautiful. Everything holding the secrets of the universe, and we’re here to listen.
