"Dimensional"
As you are able, in the light,
To stand beneath the day-long sun
Knowing stars still in heavens wheel
Behind the dazzling blind of blue--
As you can look upon the tree
Spread-branched, roots wide and deep below
In secret darkeness, while you see
Only the trunk and greening crown--
So should the mind its fruit appraise
By what lies out of reach or sight;
For roots still nourish from beneath,
And worlds are there beyond the stars.
(My Grandmother, Katherine F. Larsen)
