I am a mystery ...

I am a mystery 
Born of a tiny seed 
A miracle in deed; 
I am a splendid tree 

Rising from the pitch dark 
Underneath the surface 
I stand now tall in grace,
Holding a hidden spark 

A face of joy and beauty
Birthing from deep, stark roots 
Flavors, flowers and fruits;
I am nature’s bounty

Making music with breeze
Gleaning glory from dew
With birdsongs old and new,
I stay poised, still at ease

Garden, wood, or orchard
I am stoic and silent
Steady and resilient,
Spiraling sure upward

Dancing with willful wind
Glowing in golden sun 
Until the day is done; 
I am subtly seasoned

In my divine kingdom—
A canopy sacred
With blessings myriad,
I echo eternal wisdom
