In the Trees

The sun rises slowly amongst the trees,
Calling, waking birds and bees,
My soul alive now does know,
What it takes in order to grow.

Why is giving all you have,
To another seem so bad?
Free from fear is not mad,
Have you strength to stand and laugh?

We live in fear, our own cage,
Evil leers, imagined sage.
Truth unknown, turn the page.
Laugh at fear, a war to wage.

When you live, free of guilt.
Each day’s gift, mothers milk.
Conform yourself , not to others,
Individual self, now your brother.

Within the truth, lies are found.
Forever dig beneath your ground.
In the trees, soon you hear,
A spirit wise, oh so near.

The sun shines down upon the tree,
Yourself you find in all you see.
Fear is gone, live to be,
Atonement paid, love so free.
