For Those With Ears...

For Those With Ears…

Wind is strong

          today – we hear

                    dynamic sounds unfurl.

Chimes sing, branches whip, needles whisper,

          and trunks creak, bend, and sway;

                   Forest dances to ancient, rhythmic song.

Relentless gusts push uncertainty.

          We take shelter, hope as lights flicker,

                   trust roots will hold, unseen,

tested within the ground

          of our being. Life inside

                   simplifies to a single radiant flame.

We are invited, like resilient heartwood,

          to welcome Spirit to crack, heal, and strengthen

                   new rings of growth.
