We walk among parallel trees,
our feet beating patterns in the same soft earth.
Yet peering at your distant peaks my heart leaps –
imagining with joy that day that I’ll reach you,
unaware that there is no reaching you
because you are already here,
in these trees,
in this earth,
in this place
where I now
am standing.

I definitely pick the artwork. Last week I used (with permission) one of Michelle Wegner’s photographs. This photo came from dailyillumination.net’s meditation with nature (the website my spiritual director started and that hosted my poetry in January). This was the photo that inspired the poem, so I wanted to have it here as well. I’ve done that a couple other times with photo/art from dailyillumination. 🙂
I love it!! That’s so awesome!
Beautiful.
“…because you are already there.” Yes! Love this!
The poem is shaped like half of a tree. Was that on purpose?
wow you’re right! no that wasn’t necessarily intentional but we’ll say my subconscious made it happen!
