Bodhi Tree
Valhjim

It is not to wonder that Gautama 
found Enlightenment under 
the Bodhi Tree—all trees are living,

beautiful Bodhi Trees, living bridges
between heaven and earth, mind 
and spirit, body and soul.

All trees shine with inner light,
there's so much going on inside them
that is not visible to the eye: 

rivers of energy streaming 
through trunk, boughs, leaves,
flowers and fruits, complex 

networks of roots spreading 
underground, talking, connecting,
with other trees, plants, bushes,
and undergrowth;

trees provide shelter
from the heat of the sun,
home for birds and numberless
creatures;

trees bring down rain to fertilize 
the earth, give us delicious, 
nurturing fruit.

All trees are beautiful 
Bodhi Trees, bridges 

between 
worlds.

********
hope you like this poem
and music, friends.

Thanks for listening
and for your kind and thoughtful
words—they bring much joy
and inspiration.

Bodhi Tree

Valhjim is a music composer with an eclectic approach to different genres: rock, pop, folk, New Age, and experimental electronic music. Greatly driven by imagination and poetic imagery, he combines multiple instrumental textures to fire the imagination of his listeners. 

His more experimental ambience and electronic music is built with layers of suggestive sound textures, rhythms, and melodic lines that stir the imagination into suggestive imagery and worlds unseen, true architectures of sound that open up limitless spaces to explore. Often Valhjim's melodies sail through genre thresholds, crossing over from one genre to another, from neo classcal to electronic, or from jazz to rock or new age.
