A tree a life so many years gone by history bound in each new ring and every scar I lay nestled in Her arms I listen to all She has to say She speaks to me through my bare feet...my hands She speaks to me on the wind...and in the rain telling me stories born long before my time Wisdom as only Ancient Elders know Truths passed to me through Nature's perfect lips She cries Her overwhelming grief sap that clings to me... to my soul I wrap my arms around Her offering the only solace that I know giving myself as the only gift I have to give a pitiful offering to a goddess such as this but of myself it is all that I have to give
