The Giving Trees 1
I
went
about
to pray
one day
to Jesus,
and as I
looked around
I gazed in my way
upon a place a ways,
afar, and so I could see
the generous gapes of
the giving trees, as so they
are. Nestled down between the
broken valley (of Gods’ open will).
As they were one better for me to
be seen, and in a greater measure
and for the long standing passion of my fancy,
still. For yes they are the one true rare beauty’s
left in the way of this one most humble land. With
the wholesome hearts and outstretched hands.
As amid this... the ladder days of the
Summers fall, they stand at their
ready to provide their goodness
to whom ever... may come to
call. For they are open too for the many
come a feathered wing. To bring for them
the finer nature of a better thing. With one a
purpose brought forth... by the way of an open
heart, one so softly spoken. There they live for to serve
God as they move in the way of the pureness, and by the way
of the promise one given of His tender love, and devotion, and as
well they are one better also as a haven, and as well... for the wisdom so honestly
given and found to be well, within the nature, of the raven. As to offer, a sweeter fruit
is what they bring. As to sway they dance. As in their joy they sing, and for the love of
a life as so to renew. Another day has risen up and shines upon them mid sparkling
morning dew, and if you were to hear them in the depths of your soul, you would
have listened. As gingerly they move in unison. So as to shimmer in-their way
together, as they glisten, and as for a gift for all. A grateful heart is for them
their only passion. As it is in their way, and by our Lord God the Father,
One so... (forever, fashioned.) “God is love, and he who abides
in love abides in God, and God in him.“ John 4:16
(New
King
James
Version)
I pick all of the Winter Holy days because I feel and believe this poem in its forming and
message can be found in the very cruxes of each and every one of them, believing as
well that in their conditioning's as they are, each are in and by their virtues all inclusive
to the God of our Fathers, thereby entirely open to the reliance in and relevance of
remaining in an honest state of consideration of the omnipotence, and purity of His
blessings of Love, Mercy, Forgiveness, and Grace. In every branch, in the representation
of the tree in this poem, I believe it is an honest telling of the true Love of God! Hyphens
