I found the place between tree branches and sky I took a moment and climbed inside I lost myself there And loved what came after the moment I lost myself there I became peace I became a branch high in the shadows of the tree I became a wisp of air that blew through those branches. I was the dirt that the roots dug in and clung to And I was the roots enjoying the deep cool of the earth surrounding me. I found the place between tree branches and sky I climbed inside and I stayed for the night I saw my breath against the morning light And I thanked the universe for encircling me Somewhere within the shadow of it’s wing And allowing me a moment of peace A moment of forgetting to be myself or anyone else in between… The dirt, the sky and the branches of that tree.

I love reading poems. I made a lot of poems regarding to family, friends, love and leadership. My favorite author is Lang Leav. She really nailed it. I fall in love with her works. I wish I can be like her. The title of your post hits me so hard. I love how you connect the tree to its branches. I know it is connected to our lives. It’s like without God, we are literally nothing.
