Love

A compassionate tree

Bigger than the sea

With small hands it reaches

For the sand on the beaches

Taking and giving

Forever forgiving

In an endless ebb and flow

We’re swept up by the undertow

The branches vein the heart

Pulsing before we could start

A writhing seed within the clay

Shaping and changing by the day

The birds sing in the bows

A chorus of earnest vows

We fluff our leaves like feathers

Filling the air beyond measures

Our roots intertwined

Thou art forever mine

Tangled branches in the arbor

Caressing like ships in the harbor

And so amazing it is to me

To be loved back by thee

To be worth thy love

And all love thereof
