The Old Growth Tree

Seek out borage for courage,
Yarrow for will,
Thyme for spiritedness.
Violets for sweet
Tenderness.
Jasmine and rose
For loving grace.
Surrender, my darling.
Give into the earth,
To what is true.
Remember,
You are whole,
And home is within you.
Where your ancestors reside,
In blood and bone.
May they lead you,
Through mountain and stone.
Through sky and sea,
The answers, you'll find,
Within the old growth tree.
