Man And Tree Together Poem by alex sarich

Within my heart, I see within yours
standing shy, thoughts moulded together
bodies breathing the same air
drinking from the same earth's flowing
breasts, you and I.

For all seasons due, arboreal ancestry
will awaken and birth will unite us
like no slave of death and torture
aspiring to greatness,
man and tree together.

Toiling through time together
entwined veins, suffused
our flesh, bearing fruits of joy
girth betrays age
but not wisdom.

Our minds caressed
listening to sounds of
roistering grey squirrels
scampering over spines
exuding poise,
beauty and balance.

God gives life to allure
our roots to spread
oils, witnessing growth
for all creation through
all our senses.
