A Poem a Day (444): Dance of life

 
Dance of life
 
We build higher to go deeper,
down into the moist willing earth,
inviting our roots to take hold
in this dank, dark home.
 
The lines of ages breathe this way,
spirals on trees a ready fingerprint
of identity, grooves of history,
records of green music to be played.
 
The oaks bear witness in still circles,
stretching branches in a ready dance,
limbs entwined, a natural face
to the downturned clear-blue sky.
