A poem by Hamish Napier

lyrics

MYCORRHIZON

The tree of my life
Twists upwards towards the morning sky.

I bring you the sweetness of the sun
While you bring a world to my feet.

You are mycelium
My living earth.

From the surface
My view was sheltered

Often shadowed by older, greater trees
A sapling competing for the light.

Below the surface
I reached only as far as my roots

Until the moment my feet
happened upon a path

Stretching to other trees
In a subterranean web of strings.

Now, we are joined at the tips
Fingers tightly entwined.

Tuned-in to the whole wide woods
You are a wisdom shared.

I was only wood and leaves,
Now I am the forest.

Whenever you are the tree
Let mycorrhiza be the voice of the ground.




For Su-a.
