<p><strong>Lithe bodied &nbsp;we dance tall</strong></p>
<p>swaying arcs of verdure leaning</p>
<p>into curved mists of space and aeons</p>
<p>as heaving earth-body</p>
<p>pulsing &nbsp;in tune, &nbsp;exultant</p>
<p>sun, &nbsp;sultry moon</p>
<p>we sink our roots, &nbsp;feeling</p>
<p>deep around you, &nbsp;and swirl</p>
<p>with wind, &nbsp;and stars reaching, &nbsp;we rise</p>
<p>upon the long song, &nbsp;of creation...</p>

<p>We spring and bow and snap and kneel and kiss the ground</p>
<p>as one our breath contracts, expands, over ages, and you</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>of late are given, to fell us and you, in swaths expletive yet</p>
<p>our spirit will, not falter and we, will love you always and, just the same</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>your small history, we embrace, holding</p>
<p>the interstices of living, deep mother, silent, patient, waiting</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>for you to join us, in the forest</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>we dance.</p>
