FOUR TREES (c) 1/1/99, Todd Silva One tree in the forest How long will she stand? One tree reining mighty With an offering to man She calls to me and takes me Into the wind, into the sky Where the breath of life creates me And fills me up inside Two trees in the forest How long will they stand? Two trees reining mighty With an offering to man The next one, she leads me To the water near the meadow For the nourishment that feeds me And the sustenance to grow Three trees in the forest How long will they stand? Three trees reining mighty With an offering to man With this one, she shows me The effect of a raging fire That with its transforming energy Change is to be desired Four trees in the forest How long will they stand? Four trees reining mighty With an offering to man And then the last one, she gives to me The earth beneath her feet With the grounding of my soul I see My connection is complete Four trees in the forest How long will they stand? Four trees reining mighty With an offering to man Four trees in the forest How long will they stand? Four trees with an offering Into the hands of man
