I love this poem, as it progressed from being rooted and grounded to flight, almost a life journey.
These phrases in particular:
"We halfway occupy these bodies choiced to transcend"
and
"Light treetops its way toward whiter light" !!!!
And that ending? Filled me with new life and astonishment.

You are the magnolia and I dream impetuous trespass
where few roads converge mid woods.
We halfway occupy these bodies choiced to transcend
destinations fragrant as wax blossoms.
Light treetops its way toward whiter light
that noons ascension via sleek firm wings.
Sheila E. Murphy
