I Dare Not To Trouble
The Bones of The Trees
The Forest Is Silver
Silver Trees aglistening
The Chickadees eat seed
from the feeders
the squirrels play in the grass
I will sacrifice all of my pride to you
You can give me the shirt off of your back
I will give you some blood from my veins
You Give Me Some Blood From Your Veins
We pass where we will all be buried
Between my house and yours
The Differences between us don't matter
The Love We Share In This Silver Forest
Is Worth More That AnotherLifetime
Lived Without It
Togetherness obliterates any kind of pain
In the silver treesthereis no future
in thesilvertreesthere isno loss of dignity
in the silver trees thereislifeanddeath
in thesilver treesthereisthe past and all
thepresent
in the silver treesis the salvation of the lord
for all plants treesspidersand animals
the cracklingofa twigis alonely alarm
the sound of the ravens isa warning call
if there is a hunter he is a demon fromhell
they will tell me, the silver trees, will tell me
with the ristling of their branches and leaves
I can feel them whispering to me there in that
silence that we are one ecosystem and not of mankind.
That I belong to theforest, that it is, finally,
My Home.////////
In Jesus' Name,
AMEN.
