Shelter

This tree of love will shelter us

Brilliant canopy of healing green

Will remind our soul

Of the beauty creation brings

And how a sense of comfort

And of peace is gained

From drawing close to natural things

Reminding us of the ever present majesty of life

Painful moments pass

Reminding our hearts

Where the true treasure lies

Standing silent still and tall

These giant beings

Surrender the movement of their branches

To the wind

As we seek shelter here

Beneath this protective healing canopy

Of nature

Finding the quiet shelter of truth

Everlasting proof

Of the love inherent within

All of creation.
