With her arms around the tree
She pressed her body
Against the rough bark
Closing her eyes
She became one with it
Feeling the life and power
The incredible strength
Filling her soul
Her heart beat slowing
To the rhythm of nature
Her blood flow mirroring
The slow movement
Of sap cursing through
The veins of the tree
Her breathing harmonizing
With the soft breeze
Gently moving the leaves
Her mind surrendering
To the serenity
Of just being
With all her senses
Arriving at and experiencing
Unequivocal bliss
