Cliff Tree Yearning

 

Legs stretched wide

and reaching out,

over the precipice,

for the immense and vast ocean

of love and mercy…..

 

How did I get here?

in this joyful conversation

with the wide open world….

 

How do the few legs left

holding bare ground

keep me still standing

straight and strong?

 

Layers of blue

line the ocean’s edge

with only one or two

bright orange lines peeking

through

 

And finally a last

warm coal

melts like one tiny drop

into the depths

of You.
