Rooted in Truth

~ Rooted in Truth ~

Wandering thru languid streets

Passing by strangers I feel I’ve seen 

yet know I haven’t met

Seeing thru panes

to intricately woven pasts

found on the inverted side

of knowing

. . .

Suddenly, time stops

by a divine stroke of trust

an angel appears before me

cascading light spills down 

thru the clouds

Saturating the patterning 

in front of me

. . .

Trusting nothing but my faith,

I place my bare feet at the tree’s base

as I am awakened to a love so great,

a love that’s nothing new

a love that’s been passed down 

1000s of times before us

…and that will be passed down 

1000s of times more

thru those who see it’s true

. . .

It’s the right here 

It’s the right now

to remember all we were never told…

but always knew

Standing up tall and strong

Despite the best of us 

having fallen for so long

. . .

Finally realizing

that our story lies within

a substrate many scarcely believe in

because just like the rest of the iceberg

it’s not that our roots are hidden

but that they’re ensconced in a place

few dare to seek
