Cosmic Trees - The Poem

James E. Leute

Trees are a bridge and a praise in space

Roots in the earth hands in the sky

Silently standing drinking and breathing

Mirroring the secret action of the cosmos

From them we can learn about living and dying

About earthly and ethereal elements

Found in their forests

To meditate on their mystery is to be outside

Ordinary perception

And much of what we can know of our magnificent

Biosphere and Psychesphere

Is revealed in their primordial reach

From earth to the heavens
