Touch A Leaf, Hug A Tree

Garth Rakumakoe

Pebbles around bare feet,

touch a leaf, hug a tree

ink a wish down to paper

and by power of whisper

let it drift carelessly

to the tender violins

of the morning breeze

 

Surrender to life’s photogenic seas

that which the eye intangibly sees

entrusting the river and your maker

with the destiny of your dreams

brilliant as the tattooed night sky

when all ray has dimmed to sleep

 

Touch a leaf, hug a tree

Stars aligned, the universe is listening

and the pebbles are seeds

      We all need to feel like the universe is on our side … and listening ) sometimes it doesn’t feel that way tho .

      • Garth Rakumakoe

        I know what you mean. Faith can waiver at times. Ours is to keep the faith alive I suppose.

        • Violet bluebell( used to be yellow rose)

          They say our energies are important when it comes to what we attract into our lives …makes you feel like you have to be a certain way doesn’t it .
