Return to our roots.
Close your eyes,
and Memorize,
where we begin,
and where they end.
We are the seed of our ancestors.
Born as bark off the branch of our lineal tree,
We imagine ourselves a twig,
fighting the sky to find the sun.
we begin life,
On this journey
from bark to heart,
and bring with us,
anyone we have ever chosen,
and everyone who has chosen us.
Let our gaze go deeper,
until we find burls in every wrinkle,
Hard-earned lessons,
resonance embodied in the tingles,
we can almost feel their outline,
And as they transition to the other side.
They sink down into a deeper layer of us.
Passing on the only thing worth leaving behind.
Love.
