Buddha sat under a Peepul tree in Bodh Gaya
Krishnamurti sat under the same in Ojai
The Kabbalah represents the Tree of Life-
Jesus was crucified on a tree in Calvary
Aborigines mark their trees for their sacred
Story and all around us the
Sacred tree is burning….
Sacred tree of old tomorrow
Sacred tree of willowy Helen Street
Sacred tree of Japanese maple pasted
With poems that lead the WAY
Sacred tree of ancient ‘Aida’
Sacred tree of Banyan in Adyar
Sacred tree of love by rivers edge
Sacred tree of death
Sacred tree of life
Sacred tree of sadness
Sacred tree of joy
Sacred tree of Holy Grail
And all around us the
Sacred tree is
Burning.
