towering above me
your arms raised
fingers splayed
soaking in the rays
of the sun

Feel you within me
deeper than you are tall
standing stout
reaching out
never a doubt, you’d
ever fall

Then you dance for me
with your imprisoned feet
tender toes
won’t let go
vibrate through my soul
your wind song

As you shed your dress
it falls upon my chest
I warm you
nourish too
sleep while you’re renewed
winters done

You give me your strength
security provide
full of might
oak tree like
holding tight and I …

I am dirt

I don't know what to say..it's beautiful and there is nothing to critique. Has an almost Indian sound..I can hear the wind.

Naz,

This is a beautiful write. The metaphor, that I perceive, is the tree rooted into the dirt, and from the soil the tree draws its strength and nuturing. So there is a reciprocal flow and interconnectedness.

Super write, Nazzy
