For Love Of Trees

We came for the trees

after lives

 of never thriving,

we came alive

we walked the hills

we lay in grass

and planted the fields

but there was always

leaving,

always leaving.

And this continued.

More walking

through forests

and over mountains,

the quiet times

the longing

the yearning

the creation

the separation,

the seemingly endless

parting.

But here today

as the lilacs bloom

 under the cloudy sky

I know why

the charity of sweet fragrance

fills my heart

with calm,

with peace

beneath the trees,

the magpie flies above

and now it is my time

to find the way every day.

God knows

where you are

and I know I am with him.

'God goes with me where ever I am.'

Trees grow

 where they are planted

birds fly

 across the sky

and sing each day.

A bird is heard

whenever we are listening.

I am listening now,

I am here now.

We came to be with the trees.

This understanding

shines the light through me.
