eucalyptus

eucalyptus

palpable presence 

distinct

calling across great distances

beckoning home. 

crystal clear song 

familiar and yet each note

bright 

new 

making its way across my skin

drenching its cool dew 

pulling and anchoring into this 

body

moment

lungs stretch in response

inhale deepens

exhale easeful in its release

the shielding of truth 

presence 

as its vapors dissipate 

held by the wonder of what is revealed in their wake.
