The Road to Awe

Giant Sequoia –
Yosemite, CA, USA

Sleeping silent with the earth,
roots surround the dreamer still.
Finds a spirit within remains,
and reaches to the sun to raise.

Branches to the sacred light,
giving always love to grow.
Unfolds another tree of life,
who left us still becoming.

In its limbs the sparrow’s song,
takes this fruit on lofty wings.
Into the presence of the day,
a soul is lifted on the breeze.

This is where the road to awe,
began with the departed one.
Wasn’t grief the nourishment,
which gave this seed its life?
