The roots of a tree grow deep into the Core,
The branches reach high into the heavenly floor.
The leaves bursting with color
Filter the light.
My heart beats in resonance with the Lord.
My mind searches for more.
Like blood through the veins,
The essence of God flows through everything.
Within the universe I stand
Amongst the immortal,
The Essence of God
My life’s portal.
My heart like the leaf
Connected to the vine.
Each leaf unique
Grows in the light that shines,
An intricate part of the Universal Mind.
(“Daphne” London, England www.photobotos.com Patrick Nicholas)
It is the trunk of the tree
That gives life to the sacred leaf.
It is the roots that anchor the tree,
To the core of the Lord.
All in humanity connected
Like the leaf on a vine.
All strung together
In Universal Mind.
the essence of realization and appreciation so well defined !
Thank you.
There’s this song authored by the Tagore, the great poet from Bengal – ‘Akash bhora surjo tara / Bishwo vora praan…’. Don’t know if you’ve ever come across it, but it resonates with the same sense of wonder and awakening as your poem… I found a comparatively English translation for you here:
