Dreaming Tree
I sat on concrete pavement asking the stars to show me a sign~
Snow flakes melted on my lips~
Opened eyes
I knew he heard my chime
The wind was speaking to me~
“Child ~always be kind”Visions of a natural divine- My Lord did hear my cries
I wanted to be held by thee
A force to teach me wise
My daddy a vague belief
My Father treats me kind
I fall in arms so thought to be something I long to knowPandora reassures herself at midnight in full moon’s glow
Heavy footsteps led a life in vain
Heartless memories draw so much shame
As only I smile to feed the dreaming tree
“Daddy come quick” so gone in memory
I begged and plead that very night God took heed in the stars so bright
Though disbelieved the sacred wind
To trail the roots that polluted kin
Begged salvation for I reached the depth
To discover the dreaming tree subsists
Nourish it with heart plus soul
Two sprinkles of dreams and three of gold
A dash immortality and one of boldThe dreaming tree lives, the relics unfold
Those who did not believe that night
Heard the winds had predicted a crest moon and rain
When evil lied in rhythms of naked branchesThe eclipse made the marked apologize in nodded shame
My dreaming tree had grown all this time
I knew,
I know,
I believe.I gave my all (so spent) as dear you are to me
The forecast called for a sunshine horizon
Out on the torrent sea
The dreaming tree survives in you
May your daddy be thoughts in knotted ribbons of blue
Your Father will provide for you at times of despair.
My dreaming tree blossoms

I love the deep connection between yourself and nature that you share. I believe if we are willing to sit and listen to nature it speaks to us in many volumes. I really enjoyed the metaphors and imagery that you have written in this poem!
Thank you for sharing your connection with nature!
