THE TREE IN ME - by Susan Noyes Anderson






THE  TREE  IN  ME


by Susan Noyes Anderson 



Plant all my roots in rich brown earth
and stretch my branches wide.
Let golden rays of morning sun
fill every space inside.


Surround my leaves with bright blue sky
and float me on a cloud.
Set free the seeking soul in me;
remove the bleary shroud.


Make of my spirit something grand.
Expand the light I see.
Open my eyes to sacred gifts
that lie fallow in me.


Raise up new growth on mountain tops;
spread seeds from crest to crest.
Help me to claim and cultivate
the ground my heart loves best.
