Burning Tree
I sat beneath the burning tree
And the wind whispered
Songs of anguish,
Breaking
Bowing
Till bloodied lips the earth embraced
Consumed in fire
From fire born
Within to without
Heart plunged into the fires of God
No bonds need hold me
Though my spirit shrieks aloud
From the searing kiss of
That scorching love.
Let my flesh be burned
By Love
Beneath the Tree
Where Love sacrificed itself
for me.
Give me burning.
