To Risk a Tree
Is it sane
To groom a tree
And prune it carefully,
To water and support her.
Hold it strong for five and two score years
A now proud and awesome tree?
To nurse it back to life
When touched by booming light.
To praise
Of fruit it shares,
The nest it bares
And the universe it holds.
And then,
To write in sand,
And stir,
And trust a jealous carpenter
With your finest saw.
