A poem for Tu B’Shvat
Energy surges through my body
tree of budding blossoms
elegantly entwined layer of nerves
interconnect in wondrous web.
Intricate cables, synapses
link branches, leaves
to restore, re-create the world
in wonder, each moment.
On this new moon of Shevat,
I trust the process of inner renewal
aided by skilled hands and open hearts
to strengthen my trunk,
open passageway to my earth roots
spark flow of creative juices
circulate critical nutrients
awaken sleeping seeds of life.
