Totems
Totems
Pulsating
The energy field
Drawing me open
My essence
On red alert
Sensating
The welcoming
Wave
Of intertwined
Connection
The mountainside
Luxurious green
The early rains
Bringing forth
Spectacularness
Large rock families
Spiking the horizon
Banding together
In ruggedness
They stand
Erect and strong
Guardians of
Their surroundings
Self-protecting
Spikes sharpened
Awaiting any
Attack from
Human or animal
Alike
Slowly growing
In the
Dry and barrenness
Desert hills
Inches creeping
Upwards
Some of these
Warriors
Two hundred+
Years old
Totems
Large and small
Nourishing those
Around them
With their sap
Through drops
Of moisture
In the air
Their energy
Bouncing from
One to the other
I stand
Their energy
Jolting
Inviting freshness
Into my
Malnourished soul
Thankful
For their
Resonate strength
