Tree

Jason RidpathContemplative

Place me in the earth.

Seeds and a heavy layer of dirt.

From my decaying mortality.

New life will spring.

If nothing else a tree.

To remind you of me.

To remind you of us.

To remind us all of the source and how it flows. Left,right, above, and below.

In all the ways we will never know.

If we are breathing, we’ve still got time to grow.
