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.
