through the beauty and the essence(s) of life’s botanical perfumery
our presence roots deeper through healing balms and liniments
into the matters of our hungry souls

 Spiritual Victuals 


Where tribal possessions bind 
heights of refuge through earthy bark 
into deep ravines and creviced stones 
of time’s numinous forge; Cernuous branches 
and hallowed roots burrow deeper 
yielding ambergris liniments 
from earthen limbs pinnacle and perfume…

Knowing resinous drops are the healing myrrh’s 
throughout the Balms of Gilead buds 
into lotus emollients of Jasminum petals and ripe olives 
vied by the medicinal oils birthing citrus fruits
under the season’s of Amyris, the anointing prophets 
exuding tender nectars embrocated by inspiriting savants 
(burning sandalwood) continue offering their ambrosial voices 
as time’s botanists tenderly reveal our spiritual victuals…

I felt as though I was in a calming spa receiving the top treatment. I feel refreshed, relaxed and ready for the day. :)
