Whispers |
Pine, I am calling to you |
Aspen, I am singing to you |
Redwood, hear this song |
Birch-bark, weeping willow |
And Dogwood, blooming moonlight |
Cedar, let it fall, fall away |
Oak, you bore my body |
Bay, I bade you open these vessels… |
To receive your whispers |
Tender breath-keepers |
Givers of life to these lungs |
May I open my ears and |
Surrender |
What can you tell me |
How can I tend you |
How can I tend to the ones |
Who pour life through these lungs… |
Care for these rivers going dry |
Bone and sorrow held as |
Pain, drought of feeling, yet the |
Rain can give us freedom, forest |
Rain, but if we cut them, it goes |
Away, help us |
Open these vessels… |
To receive your whispers |
Tender breath-keepers |
Givers of life to these lungs |
May I open my ears and |
Surrender |
What can you tell me |
How can I tend you |
How can I tend to the ones |
Who pour life through these lungs… |
«We, for every one of us you’ve uprooted |
You can soothe it by planting another |
Of the same as the kind you’ve uprooted |
Every ending a beginning if you choose it… |
You can soothe it… |
If you choose it…» |
