S H I T T a H Tree

Outrageous and tumultuous forces of sorrow and deceit suffused her world. It was her fortitude in its pureness and positive conceptualization of herself that unfurled. Whilst rivers and roads brought ravenous, heartless and virulent humans at her feet. A staunch and brave heart let not bounty fall into retreat. Whilst the wind blew spells of misfortune that beat at her mien. She stood strongly swollen with a fervid will against its encroaching scheme. Tho' on occasion tears wet her cheek. It is where dignity runs wild in her soul that keeps her from being weak. She is upright in her own integrity and standeth in an even place before God. She is dressed for battle with an impervious armor of faith and a gospel reeling rod. Tenacity, boldness, and ethics were artfully painted across her visage. For these things promised were her rite of passage. For she is omnipotent as can be. Forever strong is she. For it is said of her; she is that of a mighty S h i t t a h tree. copyright Looking At The Light From The Bottom Of The Lake Originally written as s h i t t a h tree biblical tree in the book of Psalm, Deuteronomy, Micah, Joel, Numbers, and Joshua.
