Tree of my Soul

The ill winds are free to blow

Against the supple tree of my soul.

They sow the chance

For my leaves to dance

And swirl about in the force.


Like a tree that stays the course

Against the gales of its life,

I will not fail, or rail at strife

If storms break my branches

I'll take my chances.


If I'm blown over, I will not die.

I'll forgive, so my spirit can fly.

Not to fight but to look for the trail

From murkiness to my Holy Grail.

A gap in the woods will let insight



Brighten the forest floor with light.

And show the winds that we are ONE

Where together we'll live under the sun.

And where my soul can releaf and grow

Trees and breezes CAN blow with the flow.
