~feet rooted in epiphany~
  ~eyes riveted to her boughs~
  ~bated breath~
  ~senses tingling~
  ~spirits lifting~
  ~we are going~
  ~we are flying on the ground~
  ~stepping through clouds~
  ~your hand in mine & the next~
  ~& the next~

~The Heaven Tree~

  ~the night the Heaven Tree appeared~
  ~we were excited & enamored, ecstatic
  ~beneath its mantle of star leaves~
  ~lone wanderers o’er its earthen root~
  ~feet to path & spirits soaring~
  ~wildly alive in the ebon shade~
  ~the night was a prayer to kneel~

~the Heaven Tree whispered to us~
  ~secrets of the Children of the Universe~
  ~the storms and rainbows of their days~
  ~those before and after soon~
  ~our spirits were filled with light~
  ~timelessness, eternity~
  ~standing ‘neath the Heaven Tree~

~hands reaching, others holding~
  ~a circle of love on the ground~
  ~faith we were lifted~
  ~into the boughs of the Heaven Tree~~
  ~spirits kissed upon the lips of gods~
  ~eyes embracing the vast community of humankind~
  ~delivered of moment, gifted to be~
  ~on the path beneath the Heaven Tree~

~Meditation 14: Path~

~its way is a prayer~
~spoken to those feet~
~the deep breath of spirits~
~whose passing created~
~it beginning to end~
~& those come to discover~
~its here & its after~
~that it never was~
~forever to be~
