The World Tree The Wild Wood Tarot Fair Use |
Parable
This side of the grave
and endless wandering
I come at last to the place
where I shall lay
my cheek upon the chest
of the one tree press an ear
to the heartbeat
of an unfolding tale
and surrender my name
to the roots
of the world that I may become
the parable of four seasons
leaf fall and bud
rotten and growing beyond
the living maze
and firesong guardian
soul of the ancestors.
