Tree of Knowledge

Growing a life in time
open palm searching for light.
Spiraling upward finding
crystal facets sparkling
once touched knowing all.

Making the time of a life
no longer hourglass in form
still of form and movement.
Sifting, expanding and not dissolving
overflowing accepting vessel.

Marking the time of a life
wispy contagious branches
twisting and lost on my face.
Fading monochromatic great tree
of life. Sweet time expired.
