Under The Banyan Tree

This is an older poem, but still one of my favorites, written after spending time in Kauai.  Enjoy...


Under the Banyan Tree

sweet serenity.

seed.  i'm an epiphyte growing along with you. 

we send each other upward towards the heavens.  towards the infinite space.  towards the unknown...

but then we come back down.  take refuge in the soil.  we can't forget.

life is like that.  infinitely expanding till our last root has been planted and our tree is complete.

cycles.

life.  re-root with me.

it's not too late.

  1. I love it, great poem made more beautiful by the imagery of you sitting under the tree cradled by the root. Thanks for sharing your story with me today.
