Fair Branches and Forest Shade

Centre of this galaxy 
through the darkness you came 
shawled by your presence entirely

From the ancient tree of wisdom growing wise 
The righteous flourish like the palm
at the foothill carved on its bark

Where the birds will nest finding shelter
under the shade of its branches

Plentiful as the sycamore-fig trees 
for the forest of the vintage is coming down.
So he built the house finishing it with beams of cedar.
