tree medicine



by Shannondoah

Go to the 
Trees
When you feel
lost
and Return
to yourself

Go to the 
Trees
When you feel
fear
and be Blessed
with Unconditional
love

Go to the 
Trees
When you feel
sorrow
and Return
feeling 
Joy

Go to the 
Trees

the Trees are
Medicine



sun and the moon



by Rumi
Persia (Afghanistan)

You’re in my eyes.
How else could I see light?

You’re in my brain.
This wild joy.

If love did not live in matter,
how would any place have

any hold on anyone?

i come home



by Shannondoah

i come home
to the sweet
breath of
Mother Earth
embracing me 
in forgiveness
while welcoming
my return
i come home
to my ancestors
blessing me
with
all their love
encouraging me
to remember

who

am


Am I?




by Rumi Persia (Afghanistan)

I used to have a fiery intensity,
and a flowing sweetness.

The waters were illusion.
The flames, made of snow.

Was I dreaming then?
Am I awake now?
