Tree Love

Our roots reach
deep into the earth.
They intertwine together
in mycelial tendrils of
affection and devotion.

Our stems and branches
lift up from the soil,
and our leaves and flowers
are full and flowing
with the greening
and the sparking
and the healing
incantation of our love.

Sometimes our love reaches so high
that that it touches the winged ones
and birdsong falls from them
back into our open hearts.

About dianeperazzo

I am a writer * editor * poet * crone * eco witch * mother * friend * lover. I live in Ottawa Canada — unceded and unsurrendered original territory and meeting place of the Algonquin, St Lawrence Iroquoian and Anishinabewaki, (ᐊᓂᔑᓈᐯᒃ) people; later settled by English, French and other Europeans; now also home to immigrants and refugees from Asia and the Middle East as well as innumerable generous plant and wary animal beings. For many years I have written and edited resources to enhance wellness and improve health equity for those who may be at-risk of physical and mental health challenges. As I ease into my crone years, my writing has become more focused on crafting words that strive to echo the magical and mythic voices of the living land and her beings.
