Trees

Poison from within
Killing off these trees I was given

My forest thin
Skies darkening
Only the Maker can resurrect

Paths blocked from roots upturned
Branches beaten, broken, battered

The rains come
No shelter to be found
I look up, my tears are washed to the ground
My hair dripping, clothes clinging
I shiver and shake

Prayers offered up
that the Sun will shine and bring new growth

But for now I embrace this storm.
