The image of a young woman in the branches of a tree.


Dryad

Caught in the tangled emotions of being,
wrapped in the arms of her habit,
she twists in the branches, forgiving
their tenuous hold in the earth.

Wild in the wind of her dreaming,
she remembers the horde of the ages,
brothers and sisters cloaking
the hills and the valleys sheltered.
