 Les platanes by Christine Valin * There by the river you live and in the morning sun you stretched your bare white arms into the Sky, as a prayer of glory to our Creator, full of gratitude for being alive. I let your Beauty sink within, longing to come closer to you. Your breath may suffer from carelessness and pollution, but you live on a secret Source. You live on Universe's Love! And in the evening I came entering the largeness of your Soul. I felt your arms enfolding me. You trickled harmonious tunes of Love and Peace into my ears. I touched your trunk, painted in pure white, and your velvet skin. My eyes I raised to admire the gorgeous emptiness of your Whole. Three boughs, as a tribute to the Holy Trinity, sustaining you. I dared to reach out for a hanging branch and you showed me your promise of Spring! I caressed one tiny silky bud and in that very moment your heart-beat resonated as a soft thunder deep within. A joyous trembling due to recognition pervaded me. And clearly I felt that you and I were ONE. * |
