Prostrate in Pando

Whispering notes
In alien time across
Eons of life
Under legions of stems
Marching as one
As one I commune
As one I witness
As one they flutter
As one I question
As one we connect
Linking limbs
Searching roots
Plaited sustenance
First soft, then loud
Under terra firma
A mystery is speaking
Language of challenge
Language of learning
Language of linking
Language of love
Language of Earth
White stalks prop green flags
Into blue skies
Skimmed by cotton clouds
Oh, gentle giant
Pando I lie with thee
