Always Water Trees
Water trees with love
Let your heart pour out prayer
and put your soul into your work
of watering trees
The tree that bears you fruit in its season
gives you her all
Nurture her roots with all your devotion
The tongue of corruption
and the teeth of consumption
hunger for the life of the tree
The waters of creation
give strength to the tree
to form an orbit of faith
against her adversaries
The sun also loves the tree
Its greatest joy is to bless her
Now she thirsts, now her arms are weak and wither
She cannot bear the weight of light
Her world has brought her fire and not water
Hatred is harnessed to harvest her
and children are bred with violence
to lay the axe to her root
Pour out your prayers of tears upon her behalf
Pray for the great shaking of the earth
Flood the earth with prayers
Let the earth quake
and allow new waters of creation to rise up
and water the tree of life
