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.
