~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~

~is a dream the night when sleep won’t come~
~the day after the day after~nightmare existence~
~shadow candle flame~drifted off with a pen in my vein~
~awoke needles in my eyes~blood is a hard master~

~Flame~

~pushing words away~
~lest they eat my sleep~
 ~become the only part of me~
~devour those golden hours~
~which amount to the rest of me~
~yes away with dreams and all that seems~
~possessed to make an end of me~

~anesthesia is an art~
~to which I might at once lay claim~
~a shallow grave divided~
~I might just lie between~
~some token awareness~
~consciousness~
~which came first~
~the egg or the bean~
~blackout describes the best-held dreams~

~I lit a candle to threaten the stars~
~but nobody’s laughing in this wayward place~
~would someone put out the light~
~stop this ringing in my ears~
~I am not afraid of the night~
~but see what is done in the light of day~
 ~no don’t take my candle away~
