Togetherness

Her serenity
oozes
through the air
seeps
into my core
strokes
my soul with fingers
regal
yet kind.

Her peace
pours
into my body
sand in a timer
saturating
my stomach
torso
chest
slowing
my breathing.

I become
solid
sturdy
weighty.

Togetherness

My feet sprout roots
anchoring
me to the ground
fusing
with those of my
sisters
brothers.

We are
one.
An army of trees
connected
by compassion
breathing
life
into the world.
