The bo/peepul is now a predominant feature in my inner landscape.
It is a sacred tree, connected to Hinduism and Buddhism.
It is a tree that teaches us forgiveness, resilience and mortality. It is the . . .

phoenix in the clouds,
flaming red, regal crest - sunfire, sun-proud,
spreading wings of flame and cloud,
changing as the thermals change,
always phoenix, always eternal,
ashes to ashes,
crucible-born: . . .

Am I willing to take those steps –
Hesitant journeywoman on this path?
Am I frightened of the desert –
Bare and acrid with nothing to love?
Am I seeking the spring, . . .

You walked under the sheltering boughs of cedar.
You strode beneath the acacias, barefoot, silent.
You danced around the pomegranates, tasting their ruby sweetness.
You touched the olive trees laden . . .

Heart leaf pressed on my chest -
Gazing up at the stars:
I feel the longing of home.

A star, a sun, a son,
wishing, dreaming, hoping -
waiting for the coming of spring,
light over dark,
a rebirth of a sun,
a remembrance of balance,
a reminder of joy,
Natalis . . .

Be real with an open heart -
and like flowers, look at the sun,
have a lot of fun,
Because life is an experience,
a journey with many paths
roads that meet and that part.
Cherish them, love them: . . .

She dropped onto the soft sand, panther-quiet, a dark shadow slipping in the shadows of the large hangar. She hid beneath the large silver fighter planes. Birds of death, her people called them. Birds . . .

Antlered goddess -
You guide me so.
Bathed in sunlight, regal as queen,
glowing, sun-gold, radiant-calm
You are the land embodied.
protector of leys, guardian of the forest . . .

Buddha's tree -
heart-shaped leaves in the sun.
Teach me about mortality
and resilience,
because living in the city is not
easy.
Teach me, Peepul, teach me, please.

It is a generalization to say that Singapore does not have seasons. Or that she has hot and wet monsoon seasons.
Just look very carefully at the plants. They react to the minute shifts to the weather . . .

Round bright mirror -

Wake up, old slumbering Earth -
Wake up and stretch forth your shoots,
Your little germinating seeds, your little bulbs.
Let them push out from the . . .

My heart is filled with compassion.

My spirit is filled with compassion.

My song is filled with compassion.

You put a candle under a metal colander,
turning the room into the universe -
a little Milky Way, surrounding, surrounding us.
We became star-makers that night,
Galactic explorers, ad astra . . .

A spiky ovoid -
Packed with life
And released to fly.
Note: The casuarina has seed pods with small 'spikes' (not painful) but the real seed is tiny and tucked inside the seed . . .

Coincidentally, it started to . . .

I am covered in fruit,
Citrus and succulent berries -
Fragrant with lemongrass,
Clad in melons,
Cornucopia in the city.
Urban Gaia,
In jeans and cotton tees.
