Tree Blessing
Bless this tree
Holding memories
The living and the dead
Elemental, human, animal
Branches held wide
Greeting energy
She embraces the air
Celebrating life
Silent but not soundless
Her leaves roar
As she whirls in the breeze
She is a world
And the world circles her
Her winter bones are firewood
Spring leaves nourish deer
In summer lovers rest beneath her
She remains unmoved yet aware
Hospitable to all-comers
Mammals, flying creatures
Beetles, birds and beasts
Isolated yet connected
She is a world
And the world circles her
Below her roots go deep
Pumping subterranean waters
Powerful, strong, stretching
Dwelling in a busy underworld
So much history
So many lives
So grand
So gracious
She is sacred
Beautiful
And Wise
And so we bless her,
And caress her
For her spirit is beautiful
She is a green angel
Blessing our material world
