We unfold into being Twisting turning Light Defines our form Music on the wind A quiet tango Speaks in whispers Trembles in hope Ours souls are green So green We approach God Tree sap runs golden We spring to life The syrup runs down Our fingers Flowing sweetness The air Full of light The earth Hums and moans The bees Droan our nectar We turn golden The wind shakes and drys us We fall Twisting turning Light Defines our form Music on the wind Adagio Speaks in whispers Trembles in hope Our souls are not so green Green enough We approach God...

"Ouch, bloody heck, I nearly died" is what I said when falling from tree. No time to tango. Just stand up, and pretend I meant to fall!

Beaut' allagory. Very smooth write Linda.

Beautiful and transcendent, Linda! This is pretty much a perfect encapsulation for me - delicate and yet strong with all the profundity of life and nourishment within it. Love the sense of journey and progression in this - and the human metaphor is very striking. TY Kate xx
