In the tangerine glaze of sunset

Between the giving bodies of two luscious pines

I find comfort in a woven nest

Swaying among her tender green leaves

As she gently cradles my body into nothingness.

Allowing and trusting,

The gentle rhythm of the breeze

Suspends me in time and space

Between the essence of heaven and earth.

I flow in the passion of all living things

That she freely bestows among my presence. 

In these moments, I let go of flesh and thought

I return to the stardust of my existence

And remember why I am in love with life.
