The tree spoke

The tree spoke to me

It said my name is stillness

My meaning is majesty

Underneath my boughs you find

Your shelter

I can remind you

Of what the value is

Of being deeply rooted

Of drawing up sustenance

From the nourishing places

I also remind you

Not to abandon

Or to betray the body

That loves you

That you live within

That needs most from you

Attention

Peace

Reverence
