Ask a busy person

a beckoning 
maze 
can't faze a razor's 
edge

no matter how
 crazed
and
dazed
the play's the thing
she stays
hackles raised
just a phase
malaise
weighs almost nothing 
in the larger scheme of things
meaningless 
praise
slays
the best of days....
feel the blaze
gaze
amazed

Tree


roots reach into earth
deeper than any shovel
no matter the strength of the back
wielding it
thirsty
seeking anchorage in an underground
ocean
feeding teeming, ceaseless movement
wild
tenacious
flexible

branches reach into sky
intricate twist, turn  and shiver
upwards, outwards
 awesome
shocking impossible symmetry
flicker(s)
shelter(s)
cradle(s)
deeper than any blue
no matter the heat or  cold of  sun
 greeting their thirst
 seeking fire
as definite and safe 
as its necessary distance

trunks hover
with bark the only skin they know
their precious ache
keeping earth and sky
together
and
apart
rings of ages listen and wonder at the threshold 
of
in-between
