All grand and small plants
On the planet Earth
Emanate a sense
Of the divine because
Being deeply rooted
In the ground
They seem to touch
With their tops and crowns
The core of the seventh roof
Hidden beyond the violet skies.
For this, it is completely alright
To feel that we might pick up
A great wisdom from some plants,
Resorting to the yarrow stalks--
The reliable agent of prophecy.
If we could only produce
Their silent casting-out symbols
And read them rightfully,
We would succeed in discovering
Some profound secrets
Vital to our lifetime goals and aims;
Or even more specifically,
Some revelations
Vital to our daily activities,
Our lasting spiritual experience
And insightful foreseeing.
