Convergence in Nature*

"Living pillars make a temple of nature."

Trees  Bridge Heaven and Earth  in acrylic by AVRotor 2026

Living pillars make a temple of nature,

     bridge the land and the sky;

home of creatures all, big and small,

     seen and unseen by the naked eye.

Atop epiphytes make a living crown

     of humble praise and glory,

in music and prayer night and day,

     in an unending story.

Beside, rows of trees form a column,

     like soldiers in the battlefield,

a fort they make to keep a place safe, 

     a lovely home with living shield.

Thoreau's Walden lives to this day,

     life's truly a community;

Darwin's treatise returns in search

     of peace, unity and piety.

Ephemeral is our world, sages say,

     save some sweet memory;

convergence truly holds the key

     to oneness and eternity. ~
