Live Oak
By Jeffrey Agnoli
Like the great oaks
of the Vineyard
our consciousness grows
deeper and farther
than we know
each time
we choose to follow
the oneness
our hidden
magnetic roots
pull the light closer
our spreading branches
touch new truths
our selves like unfolding
leaves brush against
the stars.
