so may i . . .

. . . so may i





i am beautifully endowed
for i have cloaked myself
with the raiment of the word of life . . .

Love

as the Trees without fail
spread their limbs
to embrace the nurturing Light of Thy love
. . . so may i

as their root reaches down
in the dark Mother Earth with constancy
to drink of Thy Spiritual Water of Life
. . . so may i

as they bring forth and Bud
and Blossom that they may
yield their Fruit to all that hunger
. . . so may i

as they flow with the Winds
and yield to the Storms
while groaning and clapping and whispering
to the Song of Life
. . . so may i

may i faithfully as a Tree
reach out to the Heavens
to embrace Life, your Love
without fail

. . . so may i
