With a capacity for complacency
a combatant seeks
protection from
soothing breezes and
sun-warming
altitudes
that move stale winds
between
ten fingers
Palms held upward
world-weary lines
find forgiveness
inside of veins
Restoration flourishes
then nourishes
to the roots
cleansing from within
I see parallels between
myself and thee
and from this earth I cry
prayers of longevity
I release my worries
from finger tips
and parted lips
these arms
are opened wide
taking in
all that He has
given me
For my praises --
He
is worthy
for His love
has made
me more than just
an ordinary tree
-- an extra ordinary
living thing
Now and forevermore
I will live and die with
my hands against the sky
