The branches you extend,

Reach further than life itself..

The extension of your existence

In my spiritual eye

Flows deep within my soul…

Reaching, overflowing to a depth never known

I feel your spirit

In the bark

The broken branches

Your nakedness…

Life still flows…within

I touch you, I hug you

With tears everflowing

Your breath flows in me

Like a river rapid downstream

You give to me visions

Of splendor, blessed breath

 Allowing my eyes to see

My ears to listen

To voices of the past
